Changing your name is one of the first practical steps many trans, non-binary, and genderfluid people take. A deed poll requires no medical involvement, no Gender Recognition Certificate, and no approval from anyone. You can do it at any stage of transition, for any reason, at any time. These guides cover the full range: trans men and women, non-binary and genderfluid name changes, gender-neutral names, changing your title to Mx, and how a deed poll fits alongside a GRC application.
