My Name has Changed. How do I update my name at Reach?
Legal name changes & your student record
To ensure your candidate file** (financial aid record, FAFSA, billing account, diploma etc.) is updated appropriately, you will need to submit a signed copy of your updated Social Security Card containing your legal last name and a copy of your updated, state-issued Driver's License/ID.
The names on both documents must match.
Given the highly sensitive information requested, please do the following:
- Step 1: Take a clear picture of your valid state-issued driver's license/ID and your signed social security card covering just the first 5 numbers of your Social Security Number. This can be done by putting a pen/pencil or other thin object over the first 5 numbers to conceal them while taking the photo. You can also edit the picture to remove and/or black them out.
- Step 2: Create a “Case” in RIO for your name change and upload your documents listed above.
**Once we receive your valid documents, we will update you in all of our systems
