    You can update your Legal name on your Microsoft Learn profile under Settings https://learn.microsoft.com/users/me/settings

    If you have an exam booked, you will be shown a message and link to contact Microsoft Credentials support https://aka.ms/credentials-support

    If this is a Microsoft Teams Free profile, the name can be updated in the app:

    1. Open Teams.
    2. Select the profile picture.
    3. Go to Settings > Profile.
    4. Select the Pencil button to update the account name.

    Another way in Teams Free:

    1. Select the profile picture toward the top.
    2. Under the name, select My Microsoft account.
    3. In the browser, open Your info.
    4. Choose Edit name.
    5. Update the name and select Save.

    If this is a work or school account, sign in to the work or school account to update the name. Some organizations do not allow users to change their names, in which case the IT admin must help. Name changes may take up to 24 hours to update everywhere.

    If this is a Microsoft Learn profile name, update the display name here:

    1. Select the profile icon in the top-right corner.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Under Personal info, username, and URL, update the display name.
    4. Select Save.
