Although many believe there is, there isn’t an official registry of name changes in the UK and unless you decide to enroll your Deed Poll, it isn’t registered anywhere.
Enrolling a Deed Poll, which is a voluntary process, means that you are making your name change public. The Enrollment of a Deed Poll provides a public record of your name change.
There aren’t any real benefits when it comes to enrolling your Deed Poll but if you are looking to make your Deed Poll a public record, then enrolling it may be the best option for you.
One thing to consider if you are thinking about enrolling your Deed Poll is that the document serves the same purpose whether it has been enrolled or not. The Enrolling process can sometimes be complex and often cost more than the Deed Poll itself.
How can I apply to enroll my Deed Poll?
To enroll your Deed Poll, you would need to contact the Royal Courts of Justice. More information can be found on GOV website.
