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. 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.
Our site contains detailed information about legally changing your name. 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. Deed polls issued by Deed Poll Office are guaranteed to be accepted by all government bodies and other organisations in the U.K. 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. We will then prepare the correct documents you need to legally change your name. 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.
