Click on the video player (right) to watch
our quick guide to changing your name by Deed Poll. The video
explains that you can legally and officially change any part or all
of your name. You can change your forenames, surname (or both),
add names, remove names, change the spelling of your names or rearrange
your existing names.
The process is very simple and there are four ways you
can apply: by post, by phone, online or you can apply
in person at our offices at Freebournes Court, Witham, Essex.

* A Deed Poll will not get your birth, marriage or
decree absolute certificate changed. It is also not possible to get
permanent records changed such as past examination certificates. There are
some circumstances that enable you to get a birth certificate amended or
reissued thereby avoiding the need for a Deed Poll. Please read
Can a birth certificate be changed?
for further information.
