Solved

new user and wrong name

Hi, I just have created my account and I need to claim a profile, there are already 2 productions with my credits (so I could claim that profile) but the problem is that my last name is spelled wrong, so I don't know if I should create a new profile and then claim the credits or if I should create my profile based on the mispelled name that already exist and the ask for editing it. Thank you for your answers

Michelle: To make it easier to advise you, please let us know: 1. the link (URL) to the IMDb name page where your credits appear 2. the correct version of your name 3. the exact spelling by which you were credited on screen in those productions -- in other words, exactly how your name appeared in each title, word for word Probably you should get the name page corrected first and then claim it, but this information will help the contributors here or IMDb staff to advise you.

Thank you Maya, I understand I can edit the name if I had my page already, but since I don't should I create a new profile and then claim the credits or I should create my profile based on the mispelled name that already exist and the ask for editing it.

@michellerossello- Your welcome! If this page is yours, you can go ahead and submit the claim for it. Once you get the claim, you are welcome to edit the name but there is no need to create a new one. If you do, you will have to then ask for a name merge of the duplicated page to this other one. Hope this helps!
