Change of name (Deed Poll)
Information for those who want to change their name.
If you wish to change your name
Check that your name change will be accepted by the following people:
- your employer
- any institute or professional body of which you are a member
- your country of origin, if you are a foreign national living in the UK
- the relevant authorities of the country in which you are living, if you are a UK national living overseas
If you change your name, many official bodies (such as banks and building societies) will require an official 'Change of Name Deed' also known as a deed poll to accept your new name.
Note: We no longer offer a change of name deed (Deed Poll) service for anyone under the age of 18.
