Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about changing your name by deed poll

Yes. An unenrolled deed poll is a legally valid method of changing your name in England and Wales. It is accepted by HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, NHS, all major UK banks and most organisations. The wording used by UK Deed Poll follows the form published by HM Government under the Open Government Licence.
Your deed poll is dispatched by Royal Mail Tracked 24, which typically delivers within 1–2 working days. Orders with Expedited Processing are prioritised and dispatched first. If you added the Instant Digital Download option, you will also receive a PDF by email so you can begin your name change immediately while your physical copies are in the post.
No. You do not need a solicitor to change your name by deed poll in the UK. An unenrolled deed poll — which is what we provide — is completely self-declaratory and is accepted by all major organisations. Solicitors and the courts are only required for enrolled deed polls, which are rarely necessary.
A deed poll is accepted by HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, DWP, NHS, all UK banks and building societies, mortgage providers, pension providers, your employer, HM Land Registry, the electoral register, and most other public and private organisations. Most organisations require you to send an original certified copy — not a photocopy — which is why we recommend ordering several.
In theory the wording is publicly available, but in practice organisations regularly reject self-prepared deed polls due to formatting errors or improper witnessing. UK Deed Poll produces professionally printed documents to the exact standard expected by HM Passport Office, the DVLA and all major UK banks — giving you certainty that your deed poll will be accepted first time.
The base price of £21.50 includes one original deed poll document, printed on appropriate paper, with legally recognised wording. Royal Mail Tracked 24 delivery is £5.95. We strongly recommend adding certified copies (most organisations will need an original — not a photocopy), and our Name Change Kit includes pre-written notification letters for all major organisations to save you hours of admin.
