Hi, I'm preparing to take the OAEs for obtaining my alternate teacher's license. In order to gain admittance for the test I must show my license and my name must match exactly with my registered name with Pearson's. My registered name is Hillary Hobbs, but my license is Hillary Elaine Sheaffer-Hobbs. When I got married I changed my name at least with Social Security to Hillary Hobbs and it is that name in which I file taxes. However, my marriage certificate makes no indication of name change- it merely has my maiden name and my husband's name.
I have 2 options to resolving my discrepancy: Either furnish proof of my legal name along with my license to Pearson's to change my name in their system OR get a license with Hillary Hobbs as my name so I may be admitted. How do I determine what my legal name is and furnish proof so that I may make one of those two changes so I can take the test?
