official name please first be in touch with the
Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)
Step 1: Submit your request to the TRA by logging onto the TRA portal:
Click here to access the TRA portalStep 2: Request to update your name by informing the
Department of Education that you have contacted the TRA and give the DfE the details of your new name. Use the following email to contact the DfE:
continuing-professional-development@digital.education.gov.ukStep 3: Once you have made this request and have had it approved please email
edutech@churchofengland.org with your previous full name, your new full name, the confirmation from the TRA & acknowledgement from the DfE and we will change your official/legal name on our systems for you.
I want to update my preferred name:If you wish to update your
preferred name you can do this using this form. However, please note your NPQ certificate will be printed with your official/legal name. You must request to change your official/legal name via the TRA (see above) if you want your NPQ certificate to have an alternative name.
Your preferred name will be used on correspondence from the Church of England regarding your NPQ and for your name on Blackboard. Please note, once your Blackboard username has already been generated we are not able to change it. For example, changing your preferred name will display your updated name to Delivery Partners, Facilitators and other participants but you will still need to log in with your previous name.
