Please click on the links on the left side of this page to read our informative articles about changing your name. If after reading our articles you have any unanswered questions, please email us.

* 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.
