It was so easy to use and so quick! I put off for years changing my name as I thought it would cost a fortune and take forever!! From start to finish and receiving my certificates was 48hours!

This service was excellent in supplying the documents I needed to demonstrate a name change and reversal some years ago. In particular the customer service in support was excellent and the team was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient.

Made changing name a lot simpler. It was helpful to have suggested list of bodies to inform about the name change. I'm still not sure who to begin with and am coming across a few stumbling blocks.

Excellent, paid for my name change as I got married in August and didn't want to let my marriage certificate go to companies that have little to no respect for other peoples documents. Deed certificates and helpful paperwork arrived quickly and easy to complete and send off to companies. Turns out it was a good move doing this as already some of the certificates are coming back in a worse state than they was posted out so well worth the money changing my surname and would fully recommend this service.Excellent, paid for my name change as I got married in August and didn't want to let my marriage certificate go to companies that have little to no respect for other peoples documents.

To be honest, I was skeptical as the reviews made it sound too good to be true! But all the other reviews are totally correct. A fast and super easy service; I got my documents through within 48 hours and very reasonably priced.

I couldn't rate this service more highly. We used them for our entire family, adults and children. They were excellent from beginning to end, with extremely thorough guidance, prompt delivery of documents that are professional and clear, very useful pre-completed template letters and the option of follow-up support if you need it. And all at a very reasonable cost. Impressive.I couldn't rate this service more highly. We used them for our entire family, adults and children.

Incredible service! The pricing is excellent and I received my documents quicker than I expected too. These guys are the epitome of professionalism, and made a potentially frustrating process incredibly smooth. I’ve had no issues at all with organisations accepting my deed poll documents (banks, DVLA, HMRC, etc.) either - so my ‘life admin’ has been super simple too. Thank you!Incredible service!

Where’s the “official” deed poll website?
Changing your name in the U.K. is a legal matter — so there’s no such thing as an “official” issuer of deed polls.

WARNING about “UK Deed Poll Office”
UK Deed Poll Office is a U.S. company (registered in Delaware) that trades illegally in the U.K. whilst not registered as an overseas company under the Overseas Companies Regulations.
You should not make an application with this company.
About the service we provide
As part of our service we will:
- draw up your deed poll and post it to you with detailed instructions on how to execute it (sign and witness it)
- give you guidance on who to update your records with, and specific information for each organisation where relevant
- write you a personalised cover letter to send to organisations together with your deed poll, professionally formatted as a Word document (we'll send this to you by e‑mail so you can print it out as many times as you need to)
- give you personal advice and answer any queries you may have
For child applications we will also:
- work out who has parental responsibility for your child and who has to give their consent to the change of name
- prepare a cover letter justifying how you have parental responsibility under the law (we'll also send this to you as a Word document)
How to apply
Our application form is very clear and simple, and it will guide you to fill in all the correct information we need to process your application. We will then prepare the correct documents you need to legally change your name.
You can use your deed poll to update all your official documents in your new name, such as your passport, driving licence, bank account, and so on. Deed polls issued by Deed Poll Office are guaranteed to be accepted by all government bodies and other organisations in the U.K.
Note that a deed poll is not the only way of changing your name, and — depending on your situation — you may not need a deed poll.
If you need any help
Our site contains detailed information about legally changing your name. If you have any questions, or you would like more personal advice, you can get in touch with our support service, and a deed poll adviser will be glad to help you.
Please note that we do not provide a service that helps you trace your family tree — the deed polls we issue are private documents, and our records are not available for public inspection. For further information about searching for historical changes of name, you can read about other possible sources of historical records, or else get in touch with a genealogist.
