Get Your Name Change Deed Poll in 1 Hour

In the United Kingdom, there is no government process for changing your name. You don't need to apply to a court, visit your council, or get anyone's permission. By law, you can simply choose a new name and start using it.

However, to update your passport, driving licence, bank accounts, and other official records, you need a legal document that confirms your new name. That document is called a deed poll.

A deed poll is a legally binding declaration that you are abandoning your old name and adopting a new one. Once signed and witnessed, all organisations in the United Kingdom are required to accept it as proof of your name change.

Anyone aged 16 or over who lives in the United Kingdom can change their name at any time, for any reason. You don't need to justify your decision to anyone.

You can change your first name, middle name, surname, or any combination. The only restrictions are that your new name cannot include numbers or symbols (except hyphens and apostrophes), and cannot be offensive or intended to mislead.

You don't need to be a British citizen. Foreign nationals living in the UK can use a deed poll to change their name on UK-issued documents.

Rules & Eligibility

You can get your deed poll and start legally using your new name in three simple steps.

Order your deed poll online in just a few minutes. Your deed poll will be individually drafted, sealed and assigned a serial number, and delivered to your email in under 1 hour. 

Print your deed poll and sign it in front of two witnesses. They must be over 18, know you personally, and not be related to you. Once signed, your deed poll is legally binding.

Use your deed poll to update your name with organisations such as your bank and employer, and on official documents including your passport and driving licence.
