Credit bureaus track both your primary name and any AKAs (Also Known As) linked to your credit file. When a name change occurs—whether through marriage, divorce, or legal reasons—your new name becomes the primary, while previous names are stored as AKAs.
Both the primary name and AKAs are automatically included in the search process, ensuring that credit searches return accurate results, even if a name change has occurred. This streamlined approach enhances matching accuracy.
