Name changes
If you have undergone a name change since your previous MCC application:
You will not be permitted to change the name in your MCC-Online account as this is the name that was approved at the time of your previous application.
When you print your online MCC Application form, the name will appear as it currently exists in the MCC database.
To record your name change with the MCC:
On your printed MCC Application form, cross out the family and/or given name(s) to be corrected.
Print the current name(s) by hand in black ink and initial next to the change(s).
Submit a certified true copy of the original of one of the following (with translation if applicable) with your application:
- marriage certificate
- divorce decree
- official court order, or
- other legal name change document.
The MCC reserves the right to request additional documentation and confirmation as required.
All future documents will be issued in your current legal name. Any request to change your name on your file at a future time will require a certified legal name change document (as indicated above).
