Married Name Change
Congratulations! You can start using and signing your married name straight away! Get your records and accounts updated when your wedding certificate arrives. It’s ready to order about 2 weeks after your ceremony. Discover what married names you can take and which companies to notify first. Not ready to change names yet? Use our reminder service!
The only document you need to get started is the official marriage certificate! Attach and send with our forms, letters and emails. Some places can be updated online or in person, so read our company instructions.
If you want to change names after marriage there are only 3 options available. Both spouses have the same options available and as a couple, you can have different surnames.
You’ve had a great life with your name, so maybe you’re not ready to let it go. Is it okay to keep using your former name at work, even if you’ve changed names in other places?Â
There’s no time limit on when you must start or complete the process. If you’ve decided not to change names, it’s okay to change your mind years later and simply show your marriage certificate as proof of your name change.
Our customers generally have all their name change requests sent within a week or two of starting. Allow 4 to 6 weeks if you do your own research. Expect to pay for a new passport.
How long does it take and cost to change names after marriage?
You can take your spouse’s surname even if you were married overseas! Apply for your official foreign marriage certificate, then attach to our notifications and send.Â
If you have not applied for your official marriage certificate you may need this as it has certain security features not available on a religious certificate. Order from your county registrar or the GRO.
Got spare time to manage your own name change research and paperwork? Create your beautiful & personalised checklist! Check off all your companies from our extensive database and receive a custom list by email!Â
Divorce & Revert to Former Name
Ready to ditch that name? We’re here to help! You don’t need to be divorced, just show different identity documents. Get our ready to send company notifications, attach the proof listed and send! It’s really that easy!
If you’re divorced then you may already have all the documents needed to start changing names! Each company has a different process, but we’ll help get your paperwork sorted in just minutes.
You can return to your former name without needing to provide any reason. You don’t need to be divorced or separated either. You probably already have the proof needed to get started.
It’s okay to keep using a passport in your married name, especially if you already have travel booked in that name. Change the name in your passport whenever you are ready.
Got hours to spend on hold, learning processes and filling in paperwork? We’ll help you get started with our FREE checklist! Browse our database and check off the companies you need to notify then we’ll email your custom name change checklist!
Legal Name Change & Deed Poll
Changing names for any other reason? You’ll need a deed poll. We explain other avenues for your legal name change too. Once you’ve got proof of your new name our service helps get your records and accounts updated in record time!
You can be known by any name, but to get identification and records changed you need proof, like a deed poll. These are inexpensive and issued quickly, although getting records updated by yourself can be slow.Â
There are 2 main costs in changing names by deed poll. First is the deed poll itself, next are some small costs to update records. We break down the typical charges.Â
You can apply to change the name of your child, but all parties with parental responsibility need to agree. Our notification kits are not suitable for children as they have few organisations to notify.
An alternative to an online deed poll, you may have a solicitor prepare your deed poll or even have them issue a letter that can be used as proof of your new name.Â
Online deed polls are compliant, widely accepted, fast and affordable. Use an established provider so you can order replacements if needed in the future.Â
Your deed poll has been issued and you’re now ready to tell the world! Browse our companies broken up into 15 categories, then check off the places you need to notify!

Do you have a tricky history of name changes? Maybe you were born overseas or live between 2 countries? Short on proof? We are the experts and have the answers! You can also access our free downloadable name change checklist so you can do it yourself, and at the same time get an idea of how much time we would save you!
There are 2 key steps. First, get proof of your new name which varies depending on your reason for changing names. Next, send off our notifications so each organisation can update your record.Â
This is the most difficult part about changing names as each company has to be notified separately. And the process for each company is different. You’ll need to send a range of forms, letters and emails. Â
While all records should be changed over in a reasonable time, it’s okay to delay your passport if you still have travel booked in your former name. Complete the online passport application or send in a paper form. Â
Electoral roll data is amalgamated from various sources throughout the year. You can advise of a name change online or to your local office. You can also request your name is kept the public register.Â
Your car or lorry licence can be updated by mail. You’ll need to send original identity documents, so it’s handy to have a few copies of your marriage certificate or deed poll. Â
A number of government records are linked from HMRC, so it’s a good idea to make HMRC a priority. Change names online and also advise if you have a change of domestic situation.Â
If you need to change names in writing but the company doesn’t want the responsibility of handling your original documents you may be asked for a certified copy. Â
Depending on your reason for changing names it’s either a marriage certificate, decree absolute or deed poll. You can use different documents to go back to your former name without being divorced and may need proof you have started using your new name.Â
Our customers save an average of 8 hours and get their names changed weeks faster! Our satisfaction guarantee means you have nothing to lose! If you enjoy waiting on hold, completing forms and writing letters then you don’t need Easy Name Change. Â
If you’ve moved to the UK and become a permanent resident or citizen you can still change names! Follow our tips for your name change abroad and be careful when booking international travel. Â
If you are a permanent resident outside of the UK then you may be able to apply for a legal name change in your country of residence. But what about updating your UK records? Can our kit help? Â
Need a deed poll, celebrant or other wedding or other professional? Our favourite businesses.Â
