Frm Level 1 exam admit card issue

[Ravi Lal]

I am facing a very serious problem. I saw recently at GARP website that the name in the admit card should exactly match with the name in the passport. When I registered for the exam, the exam form allowed me to enter only my middle name initials i.e. 'S' . Hence my name on the admit card is 'Ravi S Lal' whereas my name on the passport is 'Ravi Shankar Lal'. 'Shankar' being my middle name. I am afraid that this might be a problem and I don't know if I have sufficient time to get this resolved as the exam is on Nov 16th.

Would be really great if anyone can help me with this.

Thanks,
Ravi

Ravi Lal,

Can you please email me the following:

Name on your admit card:
Name supposed to be on your admit card:
GARP ID #:

After I have that information at Suzanne@bionicturtle.com, I should be able to get that rectified for you.

Thanks!

I've sent the details in your email.

Thanks,
Ravi.

Ravi Lal,

I've just heard back from my contact at GARP and was told the following: "The middle initial is fine on the admission ticket."

It sounds like you should be okay as-is.

Thanks!

That's great! But I still don't want to take any risk at the last moment. It would be really great if the name can be changed. Just want to be on a safer side...

Thanks,
Ravi.

Ravi Lal,

I know this was an issue last year, however it sounds to me like they changed the policy so it wouldn't be an ongoing problem. My source is a credible source at GARP within their administration. I have high confidence that you will not have a problem. If this change was necessary my source would have definitely implemented the change immediately.

If you still feel the need to continue with a change, I'd recommend that you contact GARP directly.

Thanks!
