Delete a Person Name

The NAMES tab of the PERSON TAB VIEW is where various Names associated with a Person record are stored. Below are the steps to delete a Name from a Person record.

Before you start:

Only the user (or proxy thereof) who originally added the Name, their LDA, any Clerk, or the SSA can delete a Contact.
A True Name cannot be deleted from a Person record. Only Alias and Fraudulent Names are available for deletion.

An Alias Name cannot be deleted if used as a Defendant Name on an issued process (status = Unserved or Served).

1. A Person Search is initiated from the MAIN MENU or a process.
2. From the SEARCH RESULTS screen, select the radio button of the Person record to be edited and click the Edit button.
3. The Person record, comprised of multiple tabs, displays. Click the Names tab.
4. The NAMES tab displays listing all Names associated with the Person record. Select the radio button of the Name to be deleted and click the Delete Name button.
5. The PERSON NAMES DETAILS screen displays for confirmation of the delete. Review the record and click the Delete button.
