Yes, the name on your WES application should be the same as the names on your degrees, unless the names on your degrees is different from the name on your passport, then you might have to use the name on your passport (or even the degree names, it's entirely up to you). Just make sure to get an affidavit for one and the same name, which confirms that all the names (degree, passport, etc) belong to you.

Thanks a lot for reply.
All my documents have my post marital name except degrees. So as per you I can go with name as on passport so that Wes report and passports are in sync. Please confirm.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I have the same situation as you do. I had my premarital name on degrees so I used that for WES and I have my marital surname on passports and the IRCC application. I merely attached my marriage certificate in the Change of name spot upon submission for Express entry. It worked fine. No questions asked.

Hi,

My educational certificates does not have my full name, just the first name. But my job documents, passport etc have full name. The WES report mentioned name on educational documents as First Name and applicant's name as full name.

Do I need to get an affidavit for name being the same?

The names on all Educational documents should be same else WES will mention this on your ECA report.
So better file an affidavit along with transcripts.
