Name Changes for Continuing CPA PEP Learners

If any part of your legal name (i.e. first name, middle name, and/or last name) or both first and last names changes while you are registered in CPA PEP you will be required to submit updated documentation with your current legal name. Any requests to change all or part of a name must be accompanied by a high-quality copy of one of the following identification documents:

  • Canadian driver’s license
  • Canadian birth certificate
  • Passport, any nationality
  • Both sides of a Canadian Citizenship Certificate or Card
  • Both sides of a Permanent Resident Card
  • Record of landing (landing paper)
  • Nexus identification card

Upload the required document to My CPA portal. (See screenshot below) Only jpeg, pdf, or png files smaller than 5MB will be accepted.

Name change requests will only be processed with appropriate documentation to support the change. If your name changes while you are CPA PEP candidate, upload a copy of a document bearing your new legal name through My CPA Portal. Your record will be updated after the document is verified.
