# Change Of Name Cert

> Verify Australian change-of-name certificates with registry records.

The **AU Change Of Name Cert** data source helps you verify Australian change-of-name certificates using registry records as part of your verification flow.

## How it works

### Processes

* **Change of Name Certificate Verification** — Validates the certificate details using the inputs you collect in your Trust Flow.

### Inputs

* **Family Name** — Your flow captures the current/specified family (surname) name.
* **Given Name** — Your flow captures the current/specified given (first) name.
* **Family Name 2** — An additional family name field, if your flow collects it.
* **Given Name 2** — An additional given name field, if your flow collects it.
* **Date of Birth** — Used to match the correct certificate record.
* **Registration Number** — The certificate or record registration number.
* **Registration State** — The state/territory associated with the registration.
* **Registration Date** — The date the record was registered.
* **Registration Year** — The registration year.
* **Certificate Number** — The certificate identifier/number.
* **Date Printed** — The printed/issued date shown on the certificate.
