Are you confused why some people put "Updated" in their titles while some others don't? Are you afraid that when you update your profile, then not have a crew look it over, you may get in some deep doodoo? Hopefully, this guide will answer all of your questions. I will specifically list when you do and don't need a Profile Checker's approval.

Table of Contents
1) Adults
2) Students
3) Toddlers & Babies

Note: More might be added in the future.

W H E N x Y O U x H A V E x T O

This means that you MUST get a Profile Checker's approval. You may get his or her attention by putting "Updated" next to your title.

Side note: To make the Profile Checker's job easier, please leave a note at the top of your profile stating which sections you just edited. You are not required to do so, however. If unspecified, the Profile Checker will treat the profile as if it is new.

**Adding a house and OWL/NEWT scores only applies if the character wasn't already accepted once in Ministry of Magic guild. They must not be changed when the character has been accepted once.



W H A T x Y O U x M A Y x N E V E R x U P D A T E

All requests to update the below will be automatically rejected. No exceptions. If you update them anyways, you will be caught, and a warning will be issued.

1) Changing your adult's house after the profile has been accepted once. It's a big no-no.

2) Changing OWL's and/or NEWT's after the profile has been accepted once. These test scores will follow the character for life.

It's up in the air.

If the update is directly pasted from a Hogwarts profile, then it doesn't need to be checked, since it had already been looked over in the other guild. That makes it easy, right? Accepted in one place, automatically accepted in the other. If the student isn't from Hogwarts though (say, from Beauxbatons or Durmstang), then it needs to be looked over regardless if it was pasted directly from an accepted profile there or not.

In the very rare occasion when the MoM profile is updated but not the Hogwarts one, all contents must be looked over by a crew member.

When in doubt, put "Updated" in the title: It would never hurt.

All requests to update the below will be automatically rejected. No exceptions. If you update them anyways, you will be caught, and a warning will be issued.

1) Changing your student's house. It's a big no-no.
Clarification: Change is not the same as "Adding." You add a house when you get sorted.

2) Changing OWL's and/or NEWT's after the student graduates. These test scores, after a character's graduation, will follow the character for life. Please note that changing the OWL and/or NEWT scores without the approval from crew prior to the student's graduation will get you into trouble.
