Frequently Asked Questions

Will my deed poll be accepted?

Yes! We’ve issued over 5,000 deed polls and guarantee that it will be accepted by all government bodies, organisations, and UK companies - or your money back.

How long does it take?

You'll receive your deed poll as soon as the next day after applying. Once you've signed it and had it witnessed, you can legally start using your new name.

Who can be a witness for my deed poll?

Anyone aged 18 or over who knows you personally and is ‘independent.’ This means they can't be a close relative or live at the same address as you. Most people simply ask two friends, neighbours, or colleagues. 

How do I register my new name?

Unlike births and deaths, there's no central registry for names or name changes in England and Wales, so you don't need to officially "register" your new name.

Your completed deed poll acts as legal proof of your name change. You can use it to update your name with various record holders, such as HM Passport Office for your passport and DVLA for your driving licence.
