If you wish to legally change your name in the United Kingdom the most straightforward method is to use a Deed Poll which is the legal document more formally known as a Deed of Change of Name.                                                                                                                                                                                             By Deed Poll, you can officially change any part of, or your entire name. You can choose to change forenames, a surname or middle names as well as being able to add and remove names. You can also rearrange current forenames or alter spellings.

The main purpose of a Deed Poll is so that institutions such as banks and government departments such as the Passport Office will recognise your change of name. They will not do so unless presented with such a Deed.  The process can be carried out as and when you please, and as many times as you choose on the condition that it is not done with fraudulent or deceitful motives.  

As a leading issuer of change of name deeds in the United Kingdom, an official Deed Poll issued by us will be accepted by all UK government departments, companies and organisations. This will enable you to get all your documents and records updated into your new name as efficiently as possible.
