Biographic Information

Applicant Name

Enter your first/given name, preferred first name, and last/family name. Optionally, you can enter your middle name and suffix, if applicable.

Alternate Name

If you are sending any documentation or test scores where your name is listed differently than it appears on your application, select Yes in this section and enter the alternate or former information. This ensures that your documents and test scores are matched to your application. Contact customer service so they can manually match these items to your application; failure to do so could cause significant delays.

Examples of alternate or former names include:

  • Birth names (if different from current legal name)
  • Maiden names
  • Nicknames (e.g., "Bob" for Robert, "Beth" for Elizabeth, etc.)
  • "Westernized" names
  • Alternate punctuation (e.g., your name appears with/without a hyphen, apostrophe, or diacritical marking)
  • Alternate spacing (e.g., your name appears with or without specific spaces)
  • Known misspellings (if a document contains a misspelling)

Birth Information

Enter your date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format. For example, January 7, 1989, would be listed as 01/07/1989. Make sure you enter your date of birth correctly; failure to do so could cause significant delays with matching documentation and test scores.

Then, enter your country, city, state/territory/province, and county of birth. If you are unsure of your county of birth, select N/A.

Note: to ensure applicants are entering consistent data for some questions, this application uses pre-populated answer options that are maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). For example, country answer options are derived from ISO 3166, which is the international standard for country codes and codes for their subdivisions.

Legal Sex

Indicate your sex as it appears on legal documents, such as your birth certificate or passport.

Sexual Orientation

Indicate if you identify as LGBTQ+. If you select Yes, select the sexual orientation(s) you identify with. This question is optional.

Gender Identity

If your gender identity differs from your legal sex, use this section to indicate your gender and pronouns.

Marital or Partnership Status

Indicate your marital status.

Children and/or Dependents

Indicate if you have any children and/or dependents. If you select Yes, enter their age(s).
