Adding a Middle Name
A Deed Poll can be used for adding a middle name to your existing name. The Deed Poll will act as legal proof of your new name and enable you to amend your records accordingly.
Ready to change your name?
Adding a middle name when you have a popular forename and surname helps to make you more distinguishable. When choosing a middle name, you may decide on a loved ones name or a celebrity or sports persons name. Alternately, if you already have a middle name, you may decide you don’t want that name anymore and this can be omitted from your name by Deed Poll.
It is important that once you choose your new name and receive a Deed Poll, you get your records updated. Otherwise, your new name will not be classified as your legal name. However, when adding a middle name you can take your time to change over your records, as it is not a major name change, unlike when you change your forename or surname. For example, you may decide to alter your passport when it expires and needs renewing. Then, after a certain period of time all your records will have been changed over to incorporate your new name.
When changing your middle name or adding a middle name, ensure you notify organisations of your name change.
