Change your name in the UK with a deed poll

A deed poll is the standard legal document for changing your name in England and Wales. It is a written declaration that you have given up your old name and will use your new name for every purpose. You do not need a solicitor, a court order, or permission from any government office. Once you sign it in front of two adult witnesses it is legally valid, and you can use it to update your passport, driving licence, bank, and every other record held in your old name.

How the online deed poll service works

Fill in the form at the top of this page with your current name, your new name, your address, and your two witnesses. A live preview of your deed poll builds on the right as you type, so you can check every detail before you pay anything. When it looks right, you pay £14.99 once and your finished PDF downloads straight away. There is no account to set up and nothing to wait for in the post.

Is an online deed poll legally valid?

Yes. The legal effect of a deed poll comes from the wording and from being properly signed and witnessed, not from who produced it or how much you paid. A deed poll generated here carries the same legal weight as one a solicitor would charge £150 to draft. Every UK organisation that accepts deed polls, including HM Passport Office and the DVLA, accepts one made this way.

Common reasons people change their name

People change their name for all sorts of reasons. Some are getting married and want a combined or double-barrelled surname. Others are reverting to a maiden name after divorce, and many are transitioning and want a name that fits who they are. Whatever the reason, the document and the process are the same. If you are not sure where to begin, the full guide to changing your name in the UK walks through every step.
