Change Of An Adult's Name

Do you want to change your name?

​

For everyday use you can decide to use a different name. However for official documents (passport. drivers licence etc.)  and certain organisations (e.g. doctors) you need to do it officially.

​

For general use you can have an unenrolled deed pole. You have to be 16 or older to do this.

​

For official documentation it must be registered properly. You have to be 18 or older to do this.

Change Of A Child's Name

Does your child have a different name to you?

​

For a child under 16 you can make an unenrolled deed poll by using a specialist deed poll agency or a solicitor. A 17 or 18 year old can do this themself.

​

Or you can apply for an enrolled deed poll.

​

All adults who have parental responsibility must agree to change the child's name or a court order must be obtained.
