To fix the issue of your Azure certificates displaying your nickname instead of your real name, you need to ensure that your legal name is correctly set in your Microsoft Learn profile. The legal name is used for identity verification when taking a Microsoft Certification Exam and must match the name on the government-issued ID you present at your exam appointment. If you've already registered for an exam and need to change your legal name, it requires Microsoft support approval.
Here’s how you can check and update your name settings:
- Log into your Microsoft Learn profile settings.
- Verify that your legal name is correctly entered in the appropriate field.
- If you need to make changes, follow the necessary steps to update your profile and, if applicable, contact Microsoft support for approval if it involves your exam registration.
Make sure to check that your display name is also set to your preferred name if you want that to appear on your certificates.
