Can I Change My Children's Names?
You can change your children's names by Deed Poll providing everyone with parental responsibility for the child consents to the name being changed. If your child is 16 years or older, they must apply for an Adult Deed Poll in their own name for which parental consent is not required.
There are additional requirements that you must adhere to when changing a child's name. Therefore, we suggest that you visit our Changing your child's name article which will explain the additional requirements and how you can meet them.
