Your name must be the same name that is on the General Register and that you use in your practice. Name changes can be requested on the ‘Member Login’ area of the ACSLPA website, under the ‘My Profile’ tab. You must also give ACSLPA proof of the name change. Government-issued marriage, name change, or divorce certificates are all acceptable.

If you are a new applicant, you must submit original documents for a name change if the name used on your registration application form is different from the name stated on other documents in your application (e.g., official transcripts). ACSLPA will keep a copy on file, and we will return the original to you. We also accept notarized^[1] copies.

^[1]A notarized copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been certified by a notary public to be a true and accurate copy of the original document. A notarized copy may also be referred to as a certified copy.
