Deed Poll Name Change

If you'd like to be known by a different name and have identification documents and bank accounts issued under that name you need to change your name by deed poll. Regardless if you are changing the spelling of a name, the order of your names, one name or all names, a deed poll document is required and the cost is the same for any type of change.

There are two parts to changing names by deed poll. The first is to organise your deed poll document through a reputable organisation that specialises in deed polls. The second part is to notify all the necessary organisations of your new name, which is where we can help. Easy Name Change is a name change notification service. We provide you with comprehensive instructions and ready to send name change notifications and any special forms required as part of the notification process.

If you are simply taking your husband's surname after marriage or you are reverting to the name you held prior to marriage a deed poll is not required. See our sections on married name change or divorce and separation name change for more information.
