Need help with Name order for registration !

by jijuk286 Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:08 am

I am registering my Gmat profile today,but I have a problem with my name and the order in which it is supposed to be registered.

My name,as given in my identification,is
Jiju Kurien Ninan
(first name)

Since I have no surname,all three names are in the first name/given name slot, and the surname slot is blank.

Now how do I register my name in the Gmat profile? I have no last name as per my identification.But the Gmat profile registration process requires a last name.

I am worried now that even if I split my name up and add a last name,I may not be allowed at the test centre since the order of my name is different in the identification.

You will need to contact Pearson directly in order to ask them how you should register your name. Here is the contact page:

If you remember, come back and tell us what they tell you; you may be able to help future students. :)

Update:
Thanks Stacey
I did talk to Pearson customer services.
According to them,if I do not have a last name,or if I do not have one shown in my identification, I can put a period [.] in the 'last name' slot while registering. I have done so and hopefully I wont be facing any problems at my testing centre. :)
