Clarification on Name Format Before Appian Certification Registration

Question

Hi Appian Community, 
 
 I am planning to register for an upcoming Appian certification exam. Before proceeding, I wanted to confirm if a name format difference would cause any issues during ID verification. 
 
 My government-issued ID shows my name as K Jaiganesh, but I intend to register using Jaiganesh Kamaraj, which I commonly use in professional settings. 
 
 Could you please confirm if this would be acceptable, or advise on how I should proceed to avoid any discrepancies during the exam? 
 
 Thank you for your support. 
 
 Thanks & Regards, 
 Jaiganesh

It's very common to register with your professional name. You can use Jaiganesh Kamaraj for registration since your ID contains "Jaiganesh" in it. Certification exams accept this as long as your initial (K) and name (Jaiganesh) match between your ID and registration.
