You are responsible for making sure all biographical information in your LSAC file is correct, accurate, and consistent (e.g., legal name, date of birth, Social Security/Social Insurance number, and LSAC account number). Failure to provide accurate and consistent information could prevent you from taking the LSAT or could result in errors, processing delays, file reviews, and possible referral for a misconduct or irregularity investigation.
If you need to make changes to the information in your account profile, please follow the instructions below. Should LSAC become aware of a discrepancy in your biographical information, you will be notified in writing and asked to provide the correct information. You might also be asked to provide documentation to support the biographical information change. In some instances, a reporting hold may be placed on your file until the matter is resolved. This hold will prevent your LSAT score from being released and CAS Reports from being sent to the law schools to which you apply.
