Assistance with Name Change on IMDb Profile

Dear IMDb Support Team,

My name is Anna Pimonova, and I have an existing IMDb page under this name( https://m.imdb.com/name/nm7504302/). I am writing to request assistance with updating my name on my profile to reflect my current pseudonym, Anna Pimen.

I have already updated all my social media accounts and professional platforms to this pseudonym, as it represents my active professional identity. However, despite following the official IMDb guide and submitting two detailed requests with all the required supporting documentation and links, my submissions were declined. The provided explanation stated that the request was improperly formatted, but I am unsure what specific issue caused the rejections, as I carefully adhered to the instructions outlined in the guide.

I kindly ask for clarification on how to correctly format my request to ensure it meets IMDb’s requirements for a name change. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated so I can make the necessary adjustments and successfully update my profile.

Thank you in advance for your help, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Anna Pimen (formerly Anna Pimonova)

Anna: Please post your last full data submission here on this message board. You can copy it out of the receipt you would have received from IMDb by e-mail immediately after sending it in. Some of the regulars on the board may review it and, if they can, they may provide suggestions as to how to improve the submission to get it included in the database. (Also, please include the submission reference number -- it's an 18-digit number that will look something like 240123-123456-789000.) If your submission included an explanation, it will not have appeared in the e-mailed receipt but you should be able to find it in your submission history at https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ -- please post that too.

I am writing to request a correction to the display name on my IMDb profile. My current name is Anna Pimonova, and I would like to update it to Anna Pimen, which I use professionally in the film industry.

Reason for the Request:

This change is necessary to align my IMDb profile with my current professional identity, as all new projects and credits will be under this pseudonym. Maintaining consistency across professional platforms is crucial for my career.

Additional Information:

I understand that historical credits associated with my previous name will remain visible with the note "Credited as Anna Pimonova» where necessary. This approach ensures accuracy and consistency in credit history.

Supporting Evidence (if required):

1. My professional platforms, such as a website or social media, already reflect the pseudonym

Hello AnnaPimen,

It has been rejected since the New name is badly formatted, the Last Name goes first, then the Name. Also when submitting the correction you need to check on the "Preserve Previous credits" to keep the old name on previous credits. 

You can re submit and post the submission number on this post and we can take a look for you!

I have checked Anna and you submitted the correction incorrect as "Anna, Pimen". As mentioned in my comment above, it is "Last Name, First Name". Therefore the system will reject it as badly formatted, also make sure that you are checking the "Preserve Previous credits" to keep the old name on previous credits.

Now I understand what the issue was—I wasn’t adding a comma between the last name and first name, so they were automatically swapped. I’ve made the update accordingly 250103-222237-706000
