  • Details of the person whose name is being changed

    Your current name, new name, address and date of birth will appear on your Deed Poll document. Your title will only appear if you are changing it. To find out how your name will appear on your Deed Poll document, please click on this link (opens new tab). Please note, 'you' and 'your' on this page refer to the person whose name is being changed.

    *Current Title

    Other Title

    *Current forenames

    Enter your first name and all your middle names (all your given names).

    *Current surname

    *Do you require a change of title declaration?

    If you are changing your title, we can incorporate a change of title declaration on your Deed Poll document for which a £4 fee is payable.

    New Title

    If you wish to change your title to a title other than Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms or Mx, please click on this link (opens new tab) for further information. For information about the title Mx, please click on this link (opens new tab).

    New Other Title

    *New forenames

    Enter all the forenames you wish to have - not just any new ones.
    If there is no change, please enter all your current forenames.

    *New surname

    If there is no change, please enter your current surname.

    Professionally-known-as name (optional)

    If you will continue to use a name for professional or work purposes that is different to your new name, we can include it on your Deed Poll if you enter it in the box below. However, before doing so, please click on this link (opens new tab) for further information.

    *Address

    This should be your main residential address, which should be the address that appears on your documents and records.

    *Do you require additional addresses?

    If you have any documents and records registered at different addresses, we can include these on your Deed Poll, for which an additional £2 fee is payable (for each additional address)

    Number of additional addresses required

    Additional Addresses

    *Date of Birth

    *Age

    *Nationality

    Enter your nationality. If you are not British, are British with dual nationality or are a British national living outside the United Kingdom click on this link (opens new tab) to read our page about who can apply for a Deed Poll.

    Do you want us to date your Deed Poll with a future date (optional)

    If you leave No in the box, we will issue your Deed Poll un-dated for you to date when you sign it. If you enter Yes, we will date your Deed Poll for two working days after we post it (when you should receive it by) or you can enter a specific future date. A date printed by us looks much better than a handwritten date. Please click on this link (opens new tab) for further information.

    Future Specified Date

    *Are you making this application because you need to replace a lost Deed Poll or because you need a Deed Poll as evidence of a past name change?

    If this application is to provide you with a replacement for a lost Deed Poll (or a lost Statutory Declaration), or you are applying because you need a Deed Poll as documentary evidence of a past name change (for example, your name was changed by usage when you were a child), we can modify your Deed Poll to include a declaration that states you have been using your current name (i.e. the new name you have entered in section 1 above) for all purposes since a particular date. This declaration explains to those you show your Deed Poll to that it is not for a new name change.
    If you would like this modification made to your Deed Poll, for which a £4 fee is payable, please select the option Yes and then answer the questions below to tell us when and how your name was originally changed to your current name. If you are unsure whether you need this modification made, please call our Helpline for advice or email us.

    The date your name was changed to your current name

    Please provide at least the year.

    How was your name changed

    Any comments or further information (lost Deed Poll or evidence of a past name change)

    If you require this modification, in section 1 above, please ensure you have entered your old name in the current name boxes and your current name in the new name boxes. Also, the address you enter in section 1 above should be your current address and not where you were living when you previously changed your name

    Would You Like Extra Original Deed Polls?

    Some organisations (such as the Passport Office, DVLA and financial institutions) will not accept a photocopy of your Deed Poll. To avoid sending your only original in the post (and risking it being lost or damaged) you can order additional duplicates.

    We will send you multiple original Deed Poll documents, all of which you can sign and witness at the same time. Once signed, they will each serve as valid originals for official use.

    Most of our clients order around 5 copies for convenience — while those notifying multiple organisations often choose more to save time and avoid delays.

    Protect Your Deed Poll with Our Archive Service

    If you lose your signed Deed Poll, there’s no official copy of it kept anywhere. That means you’ll need to apply for a replacement Deed Poll and go through the process again. Our Archive Service prevents this.

    Here’s how it works:

    We will include one extra copy of your deed poll in your pack. Simply sign and witness it as normal and then return it to us using our provided pre-paid envelope. Once received, we will scan and securely store a digital copy of your signed Deed Poll in our archives.

    Now it's in our archives, if you ever lose your Deed Poll, you can request further printed copies from us at any time, even years later, without having to go through the whole process again.

    Most of our clients have chosen to protect their name change this way. It's a small step now that saves a huge headache later.
