Name Changes
Students
A request to change your name in your academic record can be made in person or through the mail. For more information, please visit https://www.nova.edu/registrar/services/name-change.html.
Employees
If you are an employee (faculty, staff, temporary and student employees) Federal regulations require employers to validate that the employee's personal information exactly matches the appropriate legal document to ensure proper tax reporting. Thus, in order to reflect your name correctly on your personnel and payroll records, you must provide a copy of your social security card to the Office of Human Resources.
If you have not requested a change of name with the Social Security Administration, please apply for a new Social Security card with the nearest Social Security Administration office. (Note: You will need to bring an original legal document reflecting your new name to support your request for the name change. Examples of accepted legal documents include a birth certificate, marriage license, divorce degree, etc.) Once you receive your new Social Security card, please bring it to the appropriate office. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the appropriate office.
For additional information on how to apply for, replace, correct, or change your name on your Social Security card, visit the FAQ page on www.ssa.gov.
