Changing your name by Deed Poll
Our goal is simple: to provide a fast, secure and professional name change service that makes the process as straightforward as possible.
With a Deed Poll, you can change any part of your name — first name, middle name or surname — including changes to spelling, additions, removals or reordering.
Deed Poll documents are commonly used as evidence of a name change when updating records with organisations such as HM Passport Office, DVLA, banks, GP surgeries and other institutions. Each organisation may have its own document requirements.
We aim to make the application process quick and easy to understand. Our website provides information about Deed Polls, applying for a name change and the steps you may need to take after your document has been completed.
Once we have received your completed application and payment, we aim to prepare, stamp and post your Deed Poll documents within two working days. For most applicants, this means your paperwork will be with you within just a few days, ready to sign and begin using as evidence of your new name.
