Updating your personal information

You can update selected personal information directly in the EMS My Profile page’s Details section.

Editable vs read-only fields

  • Some fields are editable (e.g. middle name, contact details)

  • Some fields are read-only (e.g. first name, last name), to ensure consistency across IEC systems

  • Mandatory fields are clearly marked

Changes are validated before being saved.
If required information is missing, a validation message is displayed.
