A Professional Deed Poll Service You Can Trust
Legally Binding and Legally Recognised
The UK Deed Poll Agency is a specialist deed poll agency based in London. We are not a firm of solicitors, you do not need a solicitor to change your name by deed poll in the UK. We are a professional name change service dedicated entirely to helping individuals and families change their name quickly, affordably, and legally.
Our professionally drafted deed polls use the legally correct wording required under UK law and are accepted by all UK government departments, including HM Passport Office, the DVLA, and HMRC, as well as banks, schools, and a wide range of private and public organisations across the UK.
A deed poll is a legal term that refers to a document made by a single party, in this case, you. By signing and having your deed poll witnessed, you are making a legally binding declaration that you are abandoning your previous name and adopting your new legal name for all purposes. From that point forward, your new name is your legal name, and all UK organisations, from government bodies to your local bank, are obliged to update their records accordingly.
We are proud to be a trusted deed poll provider, helping thousands of people across the UK complete their name change journey with confidence. Whether you are an adult seeking an adult deed poll, a parent applying for a child deed, or someone needing a replacement deed poll, we are here to help.
