Once signed and witnessed, your deed poll is the standard document UK organisations rely on to update your name on file, for passports, driving licences, tax and benefit records, bank accounts, mortgages, pensions, payroll, the electoral register and land registry records, generally with no further paperwork needed.

The Deed Poll Behind Every Name Change

A deed poll is the formal, signed and witnessed document behind a legal name change in England and Wales. It declares that you've stopped using your old name and adopted a new one, and it's what HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, banks and virtually every other UK organisation ask to see before updating their records.

We prepare a professionally worded deed poll to the legally recognised standard for adults and children alike, printed and dispatched by Royal Mail Tracked 24, ready to sign and witness.

What Exactly Is A Deed Poll?

A deed poll is a formal legal document declaring you've abandoned your former name and adopted a new one. Once signed and witnessed, it's your legal proof of that change.

Is A Deed Poll The Only Way To Change Your Name?

For the vast majority of name changes in England and Wales, yes, a deed poll is the standard document organisations expect, even where a marriage certificate might cover some name changes.

Enrolled Or Unenrolled Deed Poll: What's The Difference?

An unenrolled deed poll, what we provide, is entirely self-declaratory and doesn't involve the courts. An enrolled deed poll goes through the Royal Courts of Justice and is rarely necessary, mainly used for specific cases like certain visa or citizenship applications.

How Long Does A Deed Poll Take To Arrive?

Dispatched by Royal Mail Tracked 24, typically arriving within 1 to 2 working days, with expedited and Instant Digital Download options if you need it sooner.

What's Included In The Price

Every application starts from £19.95 plus £5.95 for Royal Mail Tracked 24 delivery. That covers one original deed poll, professionally printed on quality paper with legally recognised wording, ready to sign and witness.

Because most organisations require an original certified copy rather than a photocopy, most customers add extra certified copies at checkout, one for each organisation they need to update. You can also add our Name Change Kit, with pre-written notification letters for every major UK institution, or an Instant Digital Download so you have a usable PDF copy by email the moment you order, while your printed originals are in the post.

Our Money-Back Guarantee

We guarantee that a correctly prepared, signed and witnessed deed poll from UK Deed Poll will be accepted by HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC and all major UK banks. If a document you receive from us is rejected because of a defect in the document itself, we'll issue a free corrected replacement or refund your order in full.

To claim, contact us within 30 days of the rejection with written evidence, such as a rejection letter or email from the organisation. The guarantee covers genuine defects in the document we produced; it doesn't cover a copy that wasn't signed or witnessed correctly, incorrect information supplied at the time of ordering, or an organisation applying a policy beyond standard UK acceptance practice. Full terms are set out in our Terms & Conditions.
