Hi guys,
I usually use my name like this: "First Middle Last". On the MBA(.)com website, I registered my name as "First Last". However, as I checked on my passport, the order becomes "Last Middle First", with the specific characters in Vietnamese (for example, a person whose last name is Nguyen is written as Nguyễn). On the other hand, my driver license shows my name as "Middle First Last", where "Middle First" is now counted as my first name. What should I change my name to? I emailed GMAC and they requested me to send a copy of my passport to them, but they have taken a lot of time to answer. I tried calling them once but the person assisting me is not very helpful, and I also feel like the issue is better explained either face to face or with documents. Please advise me on this, thank you.
PS: I also plan to take the GMAT online and I'm living in the US right now for more context.

Hi. There are some interesting documentation rules for GMAT. They depend on your country of citizenship and not where you live. As a Vietnamese citizen, you will have to use your passport. You will not be able to use your American drivers license even though Americans can use it. Super weird.
Anyway, I this is really the GMAC‘s call. I would send them a copy of your passport and tell them to match it so that you’re able to take the test. Personally, it seems to me that the way your name is written should be acceptable already but I would send them a copy of the passport picture and let them deal with it. They are not super fast at the moment.

Thank you bb, I did get my name changed yesterday. When I upload my document, should I take a picture of my passport or my visa? Because my passport is in Vietnamese, and the order of my name is switched. While in the visa it's exactly the same thing
