Update your JP Public Register details

You can only provide JP services using the name that appears on the JP Public Register. If your name has changed, you must notify us as soon as possible by logging into JP Online and completing a 'Change of Name' request. You must not use your new name when performing JP functions until you receive confirmation from us that your name has been updated on the register. 

To change your name on the JP Public Register, you will need to provide:

  • evidence that you have legally changed your name, such as a scanned certified copy of your:
    • marriage certificate, or
    • change of name document from the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages
  • evidence that you currently use the name, such as a scanned certified copy of your:
    • Australian Driver's licence
    • Medicare card
    • Australian Passport, or
    • Seniors Card.

Once you have submitted a Change of Name request, JP Appointment Services will email you to advise the outcome.
