If you need to update your name on your AAPC account, certification records, or upcoming exam registration, you can submit a Name Change Request through AAPC's online process.
What You'll Need
Before starting your request, have your identification documents available.
Documentation requirements vary based on your location and the type of name change being requested. AAPC will guide you through the required documentation during the application process.
How to Submit a Name Change Request
Visit the AAPC Name Change Request page here.
Complete the online application.
Upload the required supporting documentation.
Submit your request for review.
Processing Time
Most name change requests are processed within 3–5 business days after all required documentation has been received.
If You Have an Upcoming Exam
After your name change has been processed, be sure to print an updated exam confirmation if you have a scheduled exam appointment. This helps avoid check-in issues on exam day.
Need Your Courses Updated Too?
The name change process includes an option to indicate whether your AAPC courses also need to be updated with your new name.
