Hi,

I'm planing of taking the Product Owner certification, but I don't know which name should I use for the registrationю

My official(passport) name differs from my real name(that I use at Linkedin, for example).

What should I do?

What name do you use for employment? LinkedIn is just a social media platform. When you earn the certification, put it on your linked in profile but the employers that actually check status and validity of the certification will most likely be using the name you enter on the official employment documentation.

Thanks Curtis.

It is a good point.
