Name discrepancy in MRCP UK EXAM
Names
Candidates will not be allowed into any MRCP(UK) examination without appropriate identification (ID). The name on the candidate’s ID must EXACTLY match that on the admission document issued by MRCP(UK). This will be the name registered on MyMRCP(UK), usually your first name(s) followed by surname.
Name discrepancies
If the name under which candidates are applying for the examination is different from the name that appears on the their primary medical qualification or the GMC register, they will need to submit a certificate from the issuing university or an affidavit stating that the candidate (in his or her full name) is the same person as that named on the primary medical qualification.
Candidates must also notify MRCP(UK) if the name as it appears on the photographic identification that will be used to gain entry to the examination is different from the name that appears on their primary medical qualification.
Names can have significant spelling variations, including those that are phonetically translated into
English from other languages. For example the name ‘MacDonald’ may appear as ‘McDonald’ or ‘Macdonald’; the name ‘Mohammed’ may appear as ‘Mohamed’, ‘Mahammed’, ‘Mahamed’, or ‘Muhammed’. Such discrepancies will not be accepted for the purposes of entry to MRCP(UK) examinations, as they do not allow invigilators to accurately identify candidates.
It is the candidate’s responsibility to resolve any discrepancies with MRCP(UK) before the examination. Please contact the relevant Administration Office (https://www.mrcpuk.org/contactus) with any queries regarding name discrepancies.
Name changes
Candidates who change their names by marriage or deed poll must submit the original or authenticated documentary proof of this if they wish to be admitted to the examination in their new names.
Candidates are advised to provide authenticated copies of any original documentation or provide documentation by email. MRCP(UK) cannot accept responsibility for any items lost in transit.
Name format
MRCP(UK) records, and the MRCP(UK) diploma, show forenames followed by the family name, for example, Alan John Smith. Correspondence will be addressed using the candidate’s medical title followed by initials in place of each forename, then the family name as it appears on the candidate’s diploma of medical qualification, for example, Dr A J Smith
