How to request changing your preferred first name

Le

A new unified procedure allows PSL students to use their preferred first name during their studies at the university. It was voted and decided by the university's board of directors on October 7, 2021.

Bibliothèque Mines Paris - PSL

The process of changing one's first name is available to all students enrolled in one of PSL's Component Schools, even if the change has not yet been recorded in the civil registry. The preferred first name will be included in administrative documents (except for diplomas), see below.

The request can be made at any time during the academic year and it must be renewed each year using the attached form that should be sent to the transidentity advisor at the host institution.

Once the request has been accepted, the university services will ensure that the confidentiality of the civil status is enforced and that the preferred first name is used on the documents listed below.
