Can I apply for a Deed Poll?

UK Deed Poll can provide a Deed Poll for any British citizen regardless of which country they reside in.

To order your own Deed Poll you must be a minimum of 16 years or older. A parent can order a Deed Poll on behalf of their child under 16, however will require consent from everyone that has parental responsibility for the child.

Parental responsibility for a child means that you are responsible for, and have the right to be consulted about, the child's health, education, religion and welfare, therefore to change a child's name, those with parental responsibility must consent to the name change.

There are some instances where a child’s name can be changed without the consent of both parents. If you are the mother/father and the other parent with Parental Responsbility is absent or their whereabouts is unknown or you have good reason for not contacting them, you will be required to submit a letter of consent along with your executed Deed Poll document.

The letter of consent will need to be produced alongside the Deed Poll document as organisations and government departments will not allow a child to be known by another name without confirmation that everyone with parental responsibility has consented to the name change.

We do not currently offer Deed Poll services to Foreign Nationals & Asylum Seekers.
