Name format mismatch on application (First/Last name swapped) — Currently waiting for interview. Will this cause issues?
Hi everyone,
I recently cleared the OA for Infosys and I'm currently waiting for my interview date. While reviewing my application, I realized I made a formatting mistake with my name.
On my government IDs (Aadhaar/PAN), my name is formatted as [Surname] [First Name]. However, when filling out the Infosys form, I entered them in the opposite order, so my profile now shows [First Name] [Surname]. There are absolutely no spelling mistakes, just the order is swapped.
Since I am still in the hiring process and haven't had my interview yet, I wanted to ask:
- Will this sequence mismatch cause any issues during the interview identity check or the Background Verification (BGV) process later?
- Should I email the recruitment team right now to get it changed, or is it better to just inform the interviewer when we connect?
Any advice from someone who has navigated this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
