Students must present at least two types of government issued identification showing the new legal name. Acceptable name-change documentation includes the following:

  • Government Issued Photo ID (Driver's License/State ID)
  • Passport
  • Signed Social Security Card
  • Birth Certificate
  • Court Order/ Divorce Decree / Marriage Certificate/ Marriage License
  • Certificate of Naturalization/ Permanent Resident Card/ Visa

Please allow up to two business days for name change processing. Usernames are system generated and may take seven - 10 business days for all account information to sync.

Correct/Preferred Name

CNM also recognizes that students may wish to use first names that are different from their legal names on their diplomas, CNM student ID cards, and class rosters. For more information on requesting a preferred name, visit the Correct/Preferred Name Request page.
