In order to process a Legal Name Change, the request must be accompanied by supporting legal documents, including for example an updated Social Security Card, marriage/divorce degree or other court order. Once the Office of Human Resources has received adequate support to process the change of name, Workday will be updated to reflect the employee's new name.

A notary is available in the Office of Human Resources. However, you are encouraged to contact benefits@kean.edu to coordinate an appointment.
