Frequently asked questions
New to deed polls? We've got you covered. Changing your name doesn't have to be complicated. Our team will help guide you through the process.
Contact usA deed poll is legal proof you've changed your name. You will need one to update your passport, driver's license, payroll and other important documents. It confirms your new name, abandonment of your old name, and the date the change took effect.
A deed poll isn't always necessary for a name change. Marriage or divorce certificates can suffice if the process was finalised in the UK and the document shows your new name. However, if you're reverting to your maiden name before a divorce is final, or if your documents aren't in English, a deed poll is required.
To get your passport, driving license, and other documents updated with your new name, you'll first need to apply for a deed poll. This also applies to changing your name with your bank or building society – they'll need to see proof of your name change.
You can get a deed poll in two ways: through a solicitor (costly) or online via a deed poll service like easydeedpoll.co.uk (easier and cheaper). Save money and simplify the process by applying online today.
Get your deed poll hand-drafted by an experienced paralegal for just £20 (including FREE standard tracked delivery). Unlike other services, we also include 2 FREE certified copies in the price, so you can change your name faster. And if you want more, they are just £1.50/each.
While a deed poll offers flexibility for changing your name, it's important to consider legal restrictions to avoid unintended consequences. Your new name should not be offensive, discriminatory, or promote illegal activities. This includes avoiding racial slurs, mocking names, and political statements. Additionally, keep your name simple by using standard Latin characters and avoiding numbers, symbols, or unusual punctuation.

Santos F.
Changing my name was surprisingly painless, thanks to easydeedpoll! I was so worried it'd be a hassle, but they made it super easy. My deed poll has been smooth sailing so far - the doctor, my bank, they all accepted it without a hitch. Now I'm just eagerly awaiting my new passport!
Rhys E.Saved me a lot of money, was going to get it done through a solicitor. Thanks.
Gemma W.The process was really quick, small delay by Royal Mail but not the fault of easydeedpoll. Have my new passport and I'm so happy.
