Changing my legal name by using the indications on Credentials support.

I am attempting to change the legal name on my Microsoft Learn certification profile. The Learn portal directs me to Credential Support in Engage Center, but after signing in with the Microsoft account associated with my certifications, I have no option to create a support request.

    Open the direct Credentials Support request page rather than the generic Engage Center workspace: Credentials Support.

    After signing in with the Microsoft account linked to your certification profile:

    1. Confirm Product family is Learning.
    2. Confirm Product or Service is Microsoft Credentials.
    3. Choose the category closest to a legal name/profile change.
    4. For Type of Support, select Professional No Charge.
    5. Enter your location and time zone.
    6. Select Email as the contact method; Credentials Support is provided by email, not by phone.
    7. In the description, include:
      • Your Microsoft Learn username, found in Learn profile → Settings.
      • Your current legal name and requested corrected name.
      • A clear statement that Learn requires Credentials Support review.
      • A screenshot showing the missing support option or other Engage Center error.

    These are the fields specified by the official Credentials Support procedure.^1^ A moderator-recommended resolution for the same missing-option problem also provides this direct Engage Center route:

    https://engagecenter.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AzureCXP_EngageHub/EngageHubMenu.MenuView/~/helpSupport/targetExperience/sfb/sapId/de16815f-2fa5-576e-4946-70cae21a4eeb

    That route has been recommended specifically when the generic form does not show Learning or Microsoft Credentials.^2^

    Do not post identification documents or other sensitive personal information in a public Q&A thread. Provide them only if Credentials Support requests them through the private case.

    If the direct route still has no request option

    This is then an Engage Center access or website issue rather than another legal-name form to complete:

    1. In Engage Center, select the question-mark icon at the top.
    2. Open Engage Center Help.
    3. Under How can we help?, request assistance or open a support case.
    4. Explain that the direct Credentials Support experience does not display Learning → Microsoft Credentials, and attach a screenshot.

    Microsoft documents this as the escalation route for Engage Center website and feature problems; responses are provided by email.^3^

    The legal name must match the government-issued identification used for certification-exam identity verification. If an exam is already registered, changing that name requires Microsoft support approval.^4^
