As above, no.
UK ATC and briefing providers are not ‘policemen’ and have no power / legal authority to act as such, so have no requirement to check crew/aircraft documents. I suspect that’s the same through out the world. A crew change for a variety of operational reasons is not uncommon, ideally where required, a CHG message for field 18 or 19 would cover that.
