Cannot change an incorrectly entered name

What to do if you've entered a staff member's name into Digital Staff Passport incorrectly and you cannot find out how to change it.

The issue

An HR team member, while creating a new Digital Staff Passport invitation for a staff member, has entered their name incorrectly and cannot find out how to change it.

Note: this happens at the initial stage when you're creating the staff member's profile, before they have been given access to Digital Staff Passport with your organisation.


The cause

The name of the staff member is linked to their Digital Staff Passport and cannot be changed in the service.


What to do

You will need to cancel the original invitation and issue a new one. This will involve deleting their Digital Staff Passport with your organisation and starting again.

How to cancel an invitation

Log in to the Digital Staff Passport employer’s portal using your email address and password.

Verifying identity process 1

 

Search for the staff member whose invitation you want to delete using the filtering options across the top of the page. When you've found them, select their name.

The user’s Digital Staff Passport profile page will be displayed. Scroll down and find the link titled 'Delete passport from records'. Deleting their passport in this way will cancel the invitation.

If you're happy to proceed, select the 'Delete passport from records' link'
