name changes

If you wish to change your name on the Student Records of NUI Galway, you will need to download the Change of Name Form below and submit it, along with the necessary documentation as instructed on the form.

*This form is to be used only for name change requests where the new name can be verified by supporting documentation i.e. birth certificate, passport, sworn affidavit/deed poll. Without supporting documentation, name changes cannot be made on the University Student Records system.


* Please note that a change of registered name where the first initial or surname changes (with the exception of just adding/removing síne fadas) will automatically result in a change to your NUI Galway email address. As a consequence, you must stop using the existing email address and login to the new mail account.

Information about how to check your new email address, login to the new StudentMail account and move messages from your old email to your new email account are available online click here

* If you are already a graduate of another NUI University, we will inform the NUI of the name change and your central NUI data will also be updated
