Name and Social Security Number Changes

All change requests require a copy of the student’s current government issued photo ID and social security card showing the requested name/social security number (SSN) change. For a name or SSN change, the name and SSN on the student’s social security card must match the name and SSN on the student’s CTC student record. If student submits a name change request and has not updated the social security card, the name change will not be processed. Conversely, if student submits a social security card correction, the name on the new social security card must match the name on the student’s valid Government-issued photo ID. Documents required follow.
