Change of surname

Published

hi eveyone :) How will I change my surname in my NCLEX application and in pearsonvue since im already married?

I already received my eligibility with my maiden/Single surname. I need to change my surname since my passport bears my married name aleady. I didnt register yet in pearsonvue cuz i wanted to change my surname first, it would be a big problem if my passport and ATT names wont match. They said i need to present my passport together with my ATT during the exam right?

If I were you I would call PearsonVue personally and then ask them to follow up verifying what they said to you in an Email. You dont want any little glitches to happen before you test. I dont know the answer and I dont know if I would take the advice of a stranger on an anonymous message board for something so important.

It isn't NCLEX application but RN or PN application by exam of which NCLEX is just a part of that application.

You need to change your application with the BON/BRN and send them a copy of marriage certificate. I am sure if you read their website there should be some information regarding changing name and what is required.
