Name or Employer Changes:

Name Changes for Individuals:  Legal name changes must be made in writing, either by email or mail to the Board office, within 30 days of the change.  You must attach a copy of your legal name change documentation, such as:

• a marriage certificate that documents your previous name AND your new name;
• the pertinent section of a divorce decree that documents the name change; or
• a court-issued Order Granting Name Change.

You are required to provide the Board with your FULL legal name - no nicknames. Please allow up to 72 hours for the name change to be processed.

Employer Changes for Individuals: Please notify the Board in writing, either by email or mail to the Board office, within 30 days of a change of your employment status.

Name Changes for Firms: Firms must download and send in the applicable Firm Name Change Request Form. Proposed name changes for firms must be approved by the Board before implementation of the name change or renewal of the firm's license.

An Obligation of Your Licensure:

Keeping the Board informed of your correct public/mailing address and name doesn't just help with your license renewal process, it is an obligation of your licensure.

Each licensee or registrant shall notify the board in writing within 30 days of any change of address and, in the case of individual licensees or registrants, change of employment.
