Child Deed Poll

£36.00

To change a child’s name (who is under the age of 16) you simply need to complete and submit the application form below, which has provision for 4 children.

Before you complete this form, we suggest you read about our terms and conditions, fees and your statutory rights including your right to cancel by clicking on this link (opens new window).

We also suggest you read the relevant sections of our article about changing a child’s name by clicking on this link (opens new window).  It is important to understand the meaning of parental responsibility and who needs to consent to a child’s name change.

If you do not have sole parental responsibility for your child, after you have submitted your application form, you need to send to us a letter of consent (by email, fax or post) signed by everyone with parental responsibility for the child (a link to an example of the letter we need will be emailed to you after your application has been reviewed).

If a parent with parental responsibility is absent (either whereabouts is unknown or you have good reason for not wanting to contact the absent parent), please click on this link (opens new window) to read the relevant section (6, 7 or 8) of our article about changing a child’s name.  If the father named on your child’s birth certificate is not the biological father, please read section 9.

If you need help or advice and wish to speak to a Deed Poll Officer, please call our Helpline (see top right of this page for the number and our opening hours).  Alternatively, you can e-mail us.

Please note: All questions marked with an asterisk (*) are required

  • Details of the person making this application on behalf of the child/children

    Usually, this is the mother but it can be anyone with parental responsibility. Your name and address will appear on your Deed Poll documentation.

    *Your relationship to the child(ren)

    Other Relationship

    *Forename

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

    *Surname

    To find out how your name will appear on your Deed Poll document, please click on this link (opens pop-up window).

    *Address

    This should be your permanent residential address, which should be a physical address and not a PO Box address.

    *Date of Birth

    Children included on this application form

    If you are changing more than four children's names, please submit an additional child application form after you have submitted this application.

    *How many children's names are you changing?

    *Nationality

    If your child(ren) are not British, are British with dual nationality or are British nationals living outside the United Kingdom, please click on this link (opens new window) 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 select no 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 2 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 hand written date. Please click on this link (opens pop-up window) for further information.

    Any comments or further information about this child (optional)

    *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.

    Please select quantity of copies required

    *Child 1: 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.
