Welcome to UK Deed Poll, a Specialist Agency Providing Private Documents for Unenrolled Deed Polls.
Prepared using the legally recognised wording published by HM Government, accepted by every government body that matters.
Every deed poll we prepare uses the legally recognised wording published by HM Government under the Open Government Licence: your former name, your new name, a formal declaration of renunciation and adoption, and independent witnessing, drafted in the traditional formal style professional deed poll providers use.
That's why HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, DWP, HM Land Registry and every other UK government body accept it as proof of your name change, alongside banks, employers and schools.
No, and we're not a government agency. UK Deed Poll is a private specialist agency that prepares deed poll documents using the government-published legal wording, which is why our documents are accepted by government bodies.
HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, DWP and HM Land Registry all accept a correctly prepared, signed and witnessed unenrolled deed poll as proof of a legal name change.
No. An unenrolled deed poll isn't placed on any government or public register. It's a private legal document you hold and present to each organisation you need to notify.
There's no government fee for an unenrolled deed poll. The cost covers preparing your document to the legally recognised standard and delivering it to you.

Dispatched by Royal Mail Tracked 24, typically arriving within 1 to 2 working days. Expedited orders are dispatched first, and an Instant Digital Download gets you a usable PDF by email straight away.
Sign and witness your deed poll, then update your name with banks, DVLA, and more.
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.
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.
