Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I need to register my new name?
You don’t need to officially register your new name anywhere. Unlike births and deaths, there's no registry for names or name changes in the United Kingdom.
Your deed poll serves as legal proof of your name change. You use it to update your name individually with organisations like your bank, passport office, DVLA, and employer.
Who can witness my deed poll?
You need two witnesses who are 18 or over, know you personally, and are not related to you. Suitable witnesses include friends, neighbours or work colleagues. Family members cannot witness your deed poll.
Do I need to enrol my deed poll?
No. An unenrolled deed poll is legally binding and accepted by all UK organisations, including government departments and banks.
Enrolled deed polls are registered on a public record and cost significantly more. The vast majority of people use unenrolled deed polls as they offer the same legal validity with greater privacy.
Will my deed poll be accepted?
Yes, guaranteed. Your deed poll will be accepted by all UK government departments, banks, employers, and other organisations or we'll give you your money back.
We've helped over 5,000 people successfully change their name with deed polls that meet all legal requirements.
What can I change my name to?
You can change your name to almost anything you like, as long as it doesn't:
- Include numbers, symbols or punctuation marks (except hyphens and apostrophes)
- Impersonate someone or mislead others
- Contain offensive or vulgar words
Whether you're changing your surname, adopting a hyphenated name, or choosing something completely new, a deed poll lets you make it official.
How long does it take?
Your deed poll is delivered by email in under 1 hour. Once printed, signed and witnessed, your name is legally changed, and you can begin updating your documents and records immediately.
Do I need to be a British Citizen?
No. Anyone aged 16 or over who lives in the United Kingdom can change their name by deed poll, regardless of nationality.
You can use your deed poll to update your name on UK-issued documents such as your eVisa, driving licence, and bank accounts.
