Common questions

Can I add a middle name I have never had by deed poll?

Yes. A deed poll can be used to add any middle name. Simply state your current full name and your new full name (including the added middle name) on the deed poll.

Will all organisations add the middle name to their records?

Not always. The Passport Office records full middle names; the DVLA does not typically display them on driving licences; banks vary. Your deed poll is legally valid regardless of how each organisation's system displays the name.

Can I add more than one middle name at the same time?

Yes. A single deed poll can add multiple middle names. Simply state your new full name, including all the middle names you want, on the deed poll.

Does adding a middle name change the process for updating each organisation?

No. The process for updating each organisation is the same as for any name change: present a certified copy of your deed poll and request the update.

What if I also want to change my first name or surname at the same time?

A deed poll can cover all parts of your name simultaneously. Simply state your complete current name and your complete new name in one deed poll; no separate documents are needed.
