Name Change-
Should your name change after your certificate has been issued, you can apply to change your name on your certificate. There is a fee. If you wish, you can wait until the next renewal date of your certificate and change your name at NO additional charge. You should also change your name on your social security records. When you provide the Human Resources Department with this information, all records, including payroll records, will be changed to correspond. |
