Hi... well I sugest you use the name that you will have on all your official documents, if you have not submitted an application, you should choose the name that you will be using from now on... if you have submitted your maiden name to ECFMG than I suggest for you to REQUEST A NAME CHANGE it appears on the first page on OASIS and send form 182.
Name
Hello. I am from Pakistan. I intend to register with ecfmg to take usmle step 1. My full name is Abdul Majid Khan which is also written on my passport and national identity card. But on my M.B.B.S. (Medical degree) my name is Abdul Majid. Khan is not written on my degree. Will it affect my registeration? What should I write for applying ecfmg? Abdul Majid Khan ( passport and I'd card name) or Abdul Majid ( written on my degree) . Any solutions? Please help me out.. And will it be a problem in applying for residency?

Did you have George on your passport as a middle name
name on diploma not exactly as name on passport
For example
On passport and ecfmg id the first name Mohamed saeed and last name Karim
On diploma the full name listed as Mohamed saeed Ahmad Ali Karim
Do you think this is a problem ?
On diploma they added my father first name after my first name
For example
On passport and ecfmg id the first name Mohamed saeed and last name Karim
On diploma the full name listed as Mohamed saeed Ahmad Ali Karim
Do you think this is a problem ?
Hellllp plz!!

You mean with regard to capitals? As long as they spell the same you should be okay.
no capslock problem
its actually like my name on permit is AFREENA QURESHI (altogether)
but in passport there are two name
one category is given name: AFREENA
and second family/surname : QURESHI
i meant in passport its not written together

That's absolutely fine. Its the same for everyone. Scheduling permit does not list the given and surname seperately like passport or other identification. Its just understood by convention that the 1st word is given name and 2nd word is surname.
Name prob here as well !!!!!
Hello guys.. i kinda have the same prob, the only difference is that my application got rejected as I didn't ask around much before submitting. My names on passport and ecfmg record match but the name on degree doesn't. A friend had the same prob and he sent a letter from uni stating the name on degree and passport belong to same person and his application got accepted, I did that too and mine got rejected. In the rejection letter it says provide us with a document stating that the name on ecfmg record and degree belong to the same person and to reapply. My form 186 was accepted and is valid. Now Do I need to fill in the online part again or send the documents again or talk to them on phone or what? Really confused, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You have to do the online application again if your exam application is rejected (after ECFMG looks at your diploma and form 186, form 186 is validated if it matches a previous template from your college. After form 186 valid, ECFMG has to re-verify the info on valid form 186, diploma and the online application. If anything does not match, your application would be rejected). When you paid for the exam already, the money would be in your ecfmg account. You just have to apply online again and send the letter verifying the name ( it has to be same in ecfmg record and diploma. ECMFG assumes by default that your name in the passport is the correct legal name. Not sure about the content of the previous latter you submitted, but make sure the wording is same as given in the website as they are very specific about it)
The previous letter stated that the names on degree and passport are same, didn't mention anything about the name on ecfmg record in that letter. The rejection letter wants me to send in a letter from uni comparing my degree name to the ecfmg record name and not the passport. Yes the fees was credited. Can I change my triplet period now since I'm sending the online part again?
I am not sure I completely understand you with regard to the letter. Its best not to include words like passport or ecfmg record or degree on the letter you submit. This is from the ecfmg booklet and its best if you can get the letter stating this,
Using an example where name of the degree is Randy G and on ecfmg record is Randy Greg",
This certifies that the names "Randy G" and "Randy Greg" belong to one and the same person.
That's it.
Yes, I believe you will have the chance to put a different three month eligibilty period as you will be starting the application again (not a 100% sure about this though).
