Certification profile country/address question - upcoming AI-901 exam in Houston

Hello,

I am a French citizen, permanently residing in France, currently visiting the United States (Houston, TX) under the ESTA Visa Waiver Program. I have scheduled my AI-901 (Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals) exam at a Pearson VUE testing center in Houston on September 24.

I contacted Pearson VUE beforehand to confirm my eligibility to test as a temporary visitor, and they confirmed no prior approval is required. However, they advised that the personal information on my Microsoft certification profile should be accurate and match my identification documents (French passport), and recommended I contact Microsoft Certification Support regarding the appropriate country/address information on my profile.

My Microsoft Learn / certification profile is currently set with a US/Texas locale, which I had used for scheduling convenience while in Houston. Given my actual citizenship and permanent residence are in France, could you please confirm:

  1. Whether my certification profile should reflect my French address/country of residence instead, to match my passport.
  2. Whether this needs to be corrected before my exam date (September 24), or whether it only matters for future reference (e.g., certificate delivery, transcript).
  3. If a change is needed, how best to update it without affecting my already-scheduled appointment.

Thank you for your guidance.

Best regards,

Christian Grimm
