Can I remove my surname from my profile ? I want to verify my Id on Upwork.

Hi, This is Minakshi. I have no surname with my name on my govt ID. But Upwork was not accepting my first name(only). So I put my surname there. Even my bank account is with my first name only. How can I remove my surname, Please suggest me any trick?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Minakshi,

In cases like this we would suggest a user to use a formal salutation in the first name field (like Mr., Mrs, Ms.) and their name in the last name field. That would be unlikely to cause issues with adding your bank account. 
To update your name go to Settings > Contact Info. Thank you.
