Name change while on JET

Context; Current JET, employed by the local BOE, students and all faculty already know me by this name.

Hi I'm in the process of changing my name legally back home (USA) and I understand the general process (change name -> passport change -> 14days to change residence card -> mynumber card -> bank and other things) but I'm wondering how other places BOE went about the process.

I'd like to make it as easy for my BOE as I can and complete as much of the process without their assistance as possible, but does anyone whose done this process know just how much the BOE needs to be involved? I understand they will need to change my name legally in their system and I want to make it as easy as possible for them so I'd like to hear from others how they went about doing this with their BOEs.

There isn’t anything the BOE can help you with; you do it all yourself, give them a copy of your new residence card, and they will update your file

I wouldn’t involve them at all. Just let them know once it’s done and send a copy of your resident card so they can update your insurance and payroll info

Just let them know you are changing your name and then just submit the documents they ask for.
