Help - Badges/Deedpoll/Deleted Accounts
I'm reaching out to request assistance with a name change related to certifications I earned through the Microsoft Learn platform. In 2023, I completed and was awarded credentials for AZ-900 and DP-900. These certificates are still visible on my Credly account and were originally issued under my former legal name.
Due to personal safety concerns and following advice from authorities, I have since legally changed my name and deleted all accounts and platforms that contained my previous name for security reasons. Unfortunately, this included the original Microsoft Learn account associated with my certifications, and I have realised this months after the deletion so I cannot rectify this.
Although I no longer have access to the Learn account used at the time (which may have been linked to more than one email address I can retrieve if needed), I do still have:
Verified certificates and Credly badges
Access to the Credly profile where the credentials are hosted
Both old and new government-issued ID as proof of legal name change
Any other documentation you may require to verify ownership and identity
I’ve since created a new Microsoft Learn account in my current name for communication purposes. I would be very grateful if you could advise what steps and documentation are needed to update the name associated with my AZ-900 and DP-900 certifications so they reflect my current legal name.
I deeply value these achievements and would love to display them professionally under the correct identity.
Many thanks for your help.

It is not possible to transfer certifications. If you deleted your email account and/or Learn profile, then you cannot recover your certifications unless you have access to one of the email accounts associated with it.
