ATT and Middle Name

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi All,

Was browsing around on here for a bit and couldnt seem to find the right answer or it was really outdated. I got my ATT today and registered for a testing site. The ATT has my full middle name but my drivers license has a middle initial only. I've read the horror stories but they all seem to apply to misspellings or maiden names etc so just thought I would throw this one out there. Has anyone had this issue? I have 2 weeks. My main thought was to go to the DMV and update my license to see if they can just put the full name (anyone know if they do this in NJ??) or get a state license that has it on there. If anyone has some advice I could really use it.

Thanks!

Right? Okay this is what I am hoping will suffice. I didnt even know a DL would put anything other than an initial. The PearsonVUE site says that the first and last name must match exactly- no mention of middle name. Not sure if thats because not everyone has one or what.

My DL actually has my full middle name. (MI)

I just filled out all of my state and nclex applications and I double, triple, quadruple checked to make sure it all matched up!

You can go by the testing site and talk to a proctor and they will tell you if what you have is OK or not.

You don't have to wait until the day of the test.

It might not be a bad idea to get your driver's license updated anyway, then start using your full middle name.

Could you help me guys? I am foreigner student. I have already sent to cgfns all my documents, and they issued report . After that I received a form from Division of prof. Licensing Center.Then I filled the form , attached my photo and put check fot 143$. It was on August 12 and I see it is already cleared. What should I do next. Can anyone tell me when I can register for NCLEX exam? How long does it usually take to get ATT? Thanks..

It depends on what state that you live in...the state I live in, for example, you don't have a choice of what appears in your driver's license..you write your entire legal name on the application, then they decide what appears on your driver's license.

This is because some people have not only two names (first and middle), but three and four. Not enough room on the DL to list them all.

I have a similar problem, but not entirely.

I have a really long first name and upon registration with Pearson, it only allowed me 15 characters on the first name box. For example my name is "MARIA ELLIZABETH", it only appears on my account (and now on my ATT as well) as "MARIA ELLIZABET".

Do you guys think they will still let me take the NCLEX exam? Thank you!
