Name

How to request a name change for Baylor records?

Baylor University requires that an individual's full LEGAL name be included on the student's records. Upon admission to the University, every effort is made to ascertain the applicant's LEGAL name. Once the legal name has been determined, that becomes the official name of record. It will only be changed by the Office of the Registrar upon presentation of a written request and a legal document to validate the name change.

What are acceptable legal documents?

The legal document must be the original document or a certified copy of the original document. Photocopies and faxes are not acceptable.

• birth certificate
• marriage certificate/license
• divorce decree including reinstatement of former name
• annulments
• court order for legal name change
• passport
• adoption documents

Procedure for changing the legal name

1. Complete the change of name form and attach the appropriate legal document (original/certified copies only). Forms are available in the Office of the Registrar (Clifton Robinson Tower, Suite 380).
2. Return the form and supporting documents to the Office of the Registrar either in person (CRT, Suite 380) or via email (a Baylor email account is preferred and can help expedite the process).
