## How to update your name and address in your course profile

The Manhattan College certificates are automatically generated using your account name. For many countries, your certificate must match the name on your passport, so be sure to **update your account name in the course so that it matches your passport**.

In the top right-hand corner of your screen, click on the profile image. A menu will appear. Click on **My Profile & Settings.**

On the next page, you can click the pencil icon to edit your name. A pop up will appear where you can edit your first and last name. Click save to close the popup and save your changes.
