Just leave the name like that. Changing it will be a very silly thing to do considering the fact thst u have gotten some certification like waec. These things will definetly hunt u in the future. Just tell people the nickname u would like to be addressed with. 3 Likes |

I've also got a similar problem, I plan on using my yoruba names for next year's jamb exams but my Arabic names are on my birth and o'level certificates. Will this affect me in anyway? 2 Likes |

1. get a regulatory id with d new names. 2. do a newspaper publication with d correct order of d names u want as it is on ur id card. 3. swear a detailed affidavit stating d reason for d change of name or a letter from d notary public. 4. then proceed to bank to get ur bvn name changed and after that go to ministry of education or ur school to submit such documents for reference purposes and get a receipt for that since it's total name change unless ur certs have ur new names. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Go to court for affidavit then publish in newspaper(not all paper will accept it because you're changing all your name, I'm sure of Punch and New Telegraph will reject it, it's their policy. Some newspaper will ask you for police report, to be sure you haven't commit crime with former name). You can still retain a name to be easier, may be your surname. There are lot of Pastor Sani, Evangelist Lateef, etc. If you need more explanation or help in publishing chat me up on 08180394944(Whatsaap). 1 Like |

@darkhorizon you would have to go all the way, down to changing bvn, nimc ,international passport,driving license etc etc Firstly I sought the advice of a lawyer,he said no issue with changing 2 names as long is not you are changing for criminal reasons, you just present your affidavit when presenting the docs you have in your former name. When I was ready, another lawyer friend gave me a format to type, I took the typed affidavit and went to the commisioner of oaths office at IKeja high court, dont patronize those touts ooo. Its about 500naira to get it stamped. The lawyer services were free. Next Newspaper publication, I got the services of someone on NL, sent my marriage cert and affidavit(because I was changing both surname and firstname) via watsap and voila the publication was out on guardian. Keep the newspaper its a document. After that changed NIMC national ID,( I needed it to process BVN change it became a valid ID around that time I didnt have a passport had an expired old Driving license and NIMC was the cheapest option) the newspaper publication, Affidavit from a High court and marriage cert (I am female) and 500 remitta payment per name to be changed Paid and waited. Got ready in about 2 months they said waiting time is now longer. After it got ready I proceeded to the bank with all the docs for bvn/acc details change. Some of those bank peeps may want to say you cant just change your first name any how blabla bla I didnt even bother to say anything I just gave him the affidavit and gave him the 'are you saying this is not valid' look. It takes time with banks like gtb I had to do it twice, first one they processed only that of my account not the BVN own and you wont know since you really cant check your bvn details at home or something. Applied again with enough ranting and in 3 weeks my bvn changed. Then you go to all the banks you have accounts for upgrade. If you have a passport I heard changing that one is costly to change. The whole process took around 8months Almost everything is stressfull in naija You need lots of patience it was very stressful the BVN part is the most annoying. 5 Likes 1 Share |

darkhorizon: Go to court and swear an affidavit saying that your NEW and OLD names refer to same person, then go to newspaper and give them a copy of your affidavit. They will tell you when they will publish it, make sure you buy the newspaper of that day. That's your prove. From experience, Use Guardian newspaper, it's generally accepted as authentic |
Re: How To Do A Total Name Change by olaoluyincah(m): 1:16am On Dec 23, 2018 |
darkhorizon:if you already have a BVN in that name and wishes to change it as well as your bank account name too. You will need a sworn affidavit stating reasons for the name change and also a newspaper publication together with a Valid regulatory means of identification in the new name (either a National Id (NIMC slip is ok), PVC (temporary can be used too if verifiable on the confirmation portal) International Passport or a Driver's license. 1 Like |

I think it will be very difficult to change three names , that is change of identity , if it is two names it is still possible and assuming you are a female now it will be easy because you can use marriage as the reason. Bro I will advice you not to change the three names because most bank will have issue change the three names on BVN and account . Also most firm will be careful in dealing with you because they may not find the excuse genuine enough as it look like identity theft I think you should leave your surname and change only your other names . |
Re: How To Do A Total Name Change by Ridwan440(m): 2:42am On Dec 23, 2018 |
NoToPile: Ma'am, His case is a bit different, His is total change of identity/names. Even if he enrol for NIMC it will not come out because the platform has now been linked to BNV, and they will ask for his BVN at the point of enrollment and name on BNV must be same as the name on the NIMC card. May be he can go for drivers license. |

Re: How To Do A Total Name Change by Dreal1247: 4:53am On Dec 23, 2018 |
darkhorizon: You have to swearvan affidavit for name change through a court. Then take it to one of the national newspapers' office. Pay for the newspaper publication. They shall inform you on the publication day. Make sure you buy many of the day's newspaper when it comes out. You have to be using the very page to accompany your documents when applying for jobs especially with the government. Also for internationally job applications or visa issues require the original newspaper page. In some places anyway, they accept photocopies, but not government. So you may need more than ten copies, depending on your plans. |
