Name Change for Transgender and Non-Binary People
Transgender and Non-Binary people often wish to change their name to affirm their gender. For example, John Davies may wish to be Joanne Davies. However, the new name can be anything that fits within the governmental guidelines for names. It is also possible to change titles. Options for titles include Mr, Ms, Mrs, and Miss. In the United Kingdom, it is also possible to use the gender neutral Mx.
Both of the above changes can be carried out by Deed Poll. Once the document is received and executed, organisations and departments that hold records should be notified of the name change. They can then update their records to show your new name.
When changing your forename to match your gender, you may wish to change other parts of your name. Whether you require a surname change, a middle name change, or simply a change of spelling to one of your current names, these can be incorporated into your Deed Poll document. If you would like to change both your name and title, this must be indicated when filling in the application form for a Deed Poll.
