## Edit a personal detail

1. Find the player and open **Information**.
2. Change the field in **Personal Details**.
3. Select **Save Changes**.
4. Check the updated detail in Football Manager.

Use the search button for **City Of Birth**, the date picker for **Born**, and the lists for nationality and appearance options.

## Change a player's name

You can select a name already in the database or type into **First Name**, **Last Name** or **Common Name**.

### Select a name already in the database

1. Open the player's **Information** tab.
2. Select the search button beside **First Name**, **Last Name** or **Common Name**.
3. Search for the name you want.
4. Select the replacement from the results.
5. Select **Save Changes**.

Reopen the player's profile in Football Manager to check the name. The game's display may need time to refresh.

### Type a name into the field

Direct editing can be limited by the original name's length. Name text can also be shared by several people.

1. Open the player's **Information** tab.
2. Enter the name in **First Name**, **Last Name** or **Common Name**.
3. Select **Save Changes**.
4. If a prompt says other people will change too, select **No** unless you intend to rename them as well.

Shorter names may retain spaces. Repeated saving or adding spaces does not remove the length restriction. You can instead select a name already in the database.

## Change the primary nationality

1. Open **Information**.
2. Choose the nation in **Nationality**.
3. Review **Nationality Info** and select the status you intend to set.
4. Select **Save Changes**.

To keep the current nationality and add another, use [Other Nationality in Relationships](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/players/relationships.md#add-another-nationality).

Nationality does not automatically grant home-grown status, a work permit or registration. See [Registration and permits](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/players/registration-and-permits.md).
