A deed poll is a legal document that individuals use to change their name officially and voluntarily,
allowing you to change any part of your name, add or remove names and hyphens or change spelling often for
personal, professional, or gender identity reasons.
It is a straightforward and formal declaration,
signed
and witnessed, indicating the person's intention to be known by a new name.
This document helps
individuals
update official records and identification documents to reflect their chosen name.
You can use
services like
this one to create an unenrolled deed poll which 99% of organisations will accept without a covering letter
explaining why it is not enrolled
however some organisations may stipulate that the deed poll needs to be enrolled.
Enrolling a deed
poll puts
your name change on the public record and is not necessary and you can usually just explain this to the
organisation that is asking for your deed poll to be enrolled and they will allow you to use your unenrolled
deed poll.
Using the form below you can create your own deed poll for free. The completed deed poll has a watermark saying "Official Deed Poll" as we have found when printed it results in more organisations accepting it without asking for it to be enrolled etc.
