What if the middle name/initial on my ID does not match my ATT?
The printed name on your ID must exactly match the name as it appears on your Authorization to Test (ATT) letter; this includes first name, middle name, last name, and suffix. Some flexibility is allowed for middle names and initials. For example, it is acceptable for your ID to contain your full middle name and your ATT letter to contain only your middle initial if the middle initial matches the first letter of your middle name. Specific guidance on the name matching guidelines is available in the Bulletin.
The name on your ATT must match your ID, otherwise you will not be permitted to test and will forfeit your examination fee. Name updates cannot be completed at the test center.
If you need to update the name on your ATT, you will need to change your name in NABP e-Profile at least 5 business days prior to the date of your scheduled examination appointment, refer to the Bulletin.
If you have a current ATT for an NABP examination, Pearson VUE records are automatically updated.
Refer to the Bulletin for details about name matching requirements and acceptable forms of ID.
When contacting NABP, send your request from the email address associated with your NABP e-Profile, or we will be unable to assist you.
