Family Deed Poll

£36.00

To change your family’s surname (family means at least one parent and one child under the age of 16) please complete and submit the secure application form below, which has provision for 6 children.  Please note, the parent and their spouse/partner can also change their title, first and middle names if required but children can only change their surname to the new family surname.

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

After you have submitted your application, you need to send us a letter of consent (by email, fax or post).  A link to a page containing example letters of consent will be provided after you have submitted your application.

You must be the mother or father (with parental responsibility) for the child(ren) whose name(s) are being changed to complete this application form.  An explanation of parental responsibility is given on our page Can I change my child’s name (opens new window).  This article will also allow you to determine whether you have sole or joint parental responsibility for the child(ren).  If you do not have parental responsibility, please call our Helpline for advice about how to proceed.

If you need assistance 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).

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

    *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

    *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.

    Children included on this application form

    Your application MUST include at least one child under the age of 16 for which you have parental responsibility. Your children can only change their surname to the new family surname. If you wish to change a son/daughter's first or middle names, you must also apply for a separate Child Deed Poll (if under 16 years of age). If 16 or over, you must apply for a separate Adult Deed Poll after you have submitted this application.

    *How many children's names are you changing?
