Deed Poll Office

General information

We help people in the UK to legally change their name.

We're an issuer of change of name deeds — more commonly known as "deed polls" — which is the legal document normally used to prove that you've changed your name. Not everyone needs a deed poll, but we have information and advice for all people who want to adopt a new name, whether they need a deed poll or not.

We can also advise you on how to change your child's name — we'll work out who has parental responsibility, who has to give their consent, and we'll prepare all the necessary paperwork that you need.

Our service is secure, private, and confidential — the deed polls we produce are not registered in a central location and they are not available for public inspection, and we have a strict privacy policy in place which governs the use of the personal data we get.
