Re: Pearson Vue registration - Name too long Originally Posted by felisa
I am about to register with Pearson Vue. I am supposed to enter my legal name exactly as it appears on the official identification I will present at the test center. My problem is that my name is too long. I have three first names and am using my maiden mame as my middle name. It is more than the maximum number of characters allowed for the "name" field so that my name is cut short. Should I proceed with registration? Thanks for your suggestions.
Hello, I am more than glad to inform you that I know that answer to your question because I was in the same boat when I took the NCLEX.
I also have three first names that did not fit inside the first name box for the PV Registration. What I did was I emailed PV and their reply was, they are after the MAIN first name. Only my first two names fit inside the box. The important thing is that your records at the BON you applied to have your complete three first names because during the test day, the person at the registration counter will verify your names with the Customer Service of PV. And be prepared to be the last registrant because they will finish all the other examinees first before the lady at the counter will call up PV Customer Service. You will be able to test, just make sure that your BON records are complete. I am speaking from experience

And I did not have any problems during my test day.
Hope this helps.
