Change my last name on personal information section
How does a woman change her last name on the personal information section of the LDS account? I don't like my previous last name and it irks me to see it every time I log on. It is the last name of the abusive sociopathic control freak that I escaped from. Please help me.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
You'll have to contact your ward membership clerk. I don't think that section updates from the records, so he'll probably have to contact support to get it updated.

The Clerk can update all the Name sections. There might be a pop up with certain sections, that requires an answer.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
The clerk can update all the names on the membership record and fix the what's seen on the directory and LDS Tools. But, from what I've seen, the "personal information section of the LDS Account" doesn't update. No idea why, but apparently it's been that way for a long time.

Ah, I didn't know that. Never actually had that problem raised.russellhltn wrote:The clerk can update all the names on the membership record and fix the what's seen on the directory and LDS Tools.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
Hi,
I can't get my last name changed on my profile with LDS.org. My ward clerk changed my last name in LDS tools and the display name is now changed to the new last name; however the contact information still has my old last name. Please help.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
Our Bishop already changed my last name. But I don't know why. I thought that if my family name was changed by the personnel in our Ward or by our Bishop it will automatically change my LDS account, family history account and BYU-PathwayConnect account. Please help me with this. Thank you.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
My wife is in BYU-Pathway. She told me that changing your LDSAccount does not automatically change your BYU-PathwayConnect account - they are separate so you will need to contact BYU-Pathway to change that account. You should have access to local service missionaries for the BYU-Pathway program and they should be able to assist if needed.salvoromaia@gmail.com wrote:Our Bishop already changed my last name.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
There seems to be a disconnect between my lds account and the membership info m clerk can access. Since I got married, three years ago, my clerk changed my last name on my membership records. It is unlcear why this hasn't transpired on my lds account, even though I have it linked to my membership information. Please help.
