What Is a Deed Poll and How Does It Work?
A Deed Poll is a legal document that proves you have changed your name and wish to be known by your new name for all purposes. It is the simplest and most widely recognised way to change your name in the UK.
Once you have your Deed Poll, you can use it to update your passport, driving licence, bank accounts, employer records, NHS, HMRC, and any other organisations that hold your personal details.
The process is known as “changing your name by Deed Poll.” It’s quick, secure, and legally valid throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Who Can Apply for a Deed Poll
A Deed Poll can be applied for by the individual concerned or, in the case of a child, by a person with parental responsibility.
The key requirement is that the applicant must have the legal authority to act in relation to the name change.
Adults aged 16 or over can apply for their own Deed Poll, while applications for children under 16 must be made by someone with parental responsibility, such as a parent named on the birth certificate, a legal guardian, or an individual with a court order granting parental responsibility.
A Deed Poll may only be requested on behalf of another person where the applicant has the appropriate legal authority, including parental responsibility, legal guardianship, or a relevant court order. Without this authority, a third party cannot legally request or execute a Deed Poll.
Under the law of England and Wales, a Deed Poll does not create a name change; it formally records and provides evidence of the change of name.
