The aim of this site is to provide detailed information on all aspects of name change by Deed Poll in the United Kingdom. You can also use our online application forms to change your name. We offer a complete Deed Poll service in the United Kingdom.
In the UK, a Deed Poll document (also referred to as a ‘change of name deed’ or more formally a ‘deed of change of name’) is a legal document that enables a person to formally change their name.
A Deed Poll acts in much the same way as a Marriage Certificate, Civil Partnership Certificate, or Decree Absolute in that it acts as documentary evidence enabling a person to get their official records updated to show their new name. Without this document or other similar form of documentary evidence, government departments, companies, and organisations will rarely recognise a change of name.

The Process of Changing Your Name
A Deed Poll allows a person to change any part of their name. For example, they may choose to change just a forename or a surname, just change the spelling of one of their names, or they may decide to change both their forenames and their surname.
Once a this document is drafted, it needs to be executed before it is effective and can be used as documentary evidence of a change of name. Executing a Deed Poll simply means signing it in the presence of a witness (the witness is also required to sign the the document). By executing a Deed Poll, that person is committing themselves to renounce and abandon the use of their former name, to use their new name at all times, and to require everyone to address them only by their new name.
As soon as a Deed Poll has been executed, it enables that person to use it to get all their records amended including their passport, driving license, and bank details. All government departments, organisations, and companies are required to be informed of the name change so that all official records are updated accordingly.
Upon amending all records using your Deed Poll, it is a good idea to store it safely with your birth certificate. This allows you to easily produce them together if you are required to show how the name you are using is different from your birth name.
With more people investigating their family trees, tracing name changes through old Deed Polls is on the rise.
