- Name, including spelling and capitalization. Have the competitor view their written name to confirm that it is correct. Pre-printed name tags are a great place to do this.
- Date of birth.
- Region of representation. According to [Regulation 2e](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#2e), competitors must represent a country of which they hold citizenship. Take extra caution when verifying a competitor's country of registration, as many competitors will mistakenly indicate their country of residence or heritage.
- Country. According to [Regulation 2e](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#2e), competitors must represent a country of which they hold citizenship. Take extra caution when verifying a competitor's country of registration, as many competitors will mistakenly indicate their country of residence or heritage.
- Verbally confirm that they have never competed at a WCA competition before.

In the case that a new competitor does not have a form of identification available, it is acceptable to allow the competitor to verbally confirm their name and date of birth. If no documentation of citizenship can be provided, make a note for this competitor and inform them to send the documentation to you via email after the competition. Competitors without any citizenship may compete as "Stateless" under [Regulation 2e3](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/#2e3). Contact the WRT if you encounter such a competitor.

- Changes in gender: the WRT is more lenient with these and only requires proof of identity. Note: As gender changes are mostly sensitive, the WRT executes such changes (that are technically updates) as fixes.
- Send all changes to the WRT with the WCA ID, old data, and new data.

Change requests for a person's region of representation are particularly delicate, as they affect rankings and possibly records. Therefore, such requests must include the following:
