I) CHANGE OF NAME DEED POLL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ADULT
Any individual over the age of 18 has the right to change their own name in the United Kingdom. A signed and witnessed Change of Name Deed Poll enables a person to get official documents and records changed to the new name including a passport, driving licence, bank and building society accounts, credit cards, medical records, HMRC records etc.
Enrolment of a Change of Name Deed Poll for an adult
There is no legal requirement to enrol a Change of Name Deed Poll and this Change of Name Deed Poll will be sufficient to change a person's name.
In order for a Change of Name Deed Poll to be enrolled, a Statutory Declaration (included in this document) with supporting documentation (detailed below) and a Notice to the London Gazette (included in this document) must be sent with the Change of Name Deed Poll in order to enrol the change of name.
The Statutory Declaration must be signed under oath by a person who owns a home in the United Kingdom and who has known the person who is changing their name for at least 10 years (a 'Declarant'). The Statutory Declaration must exhibit the following supporting documentation:
- Exhibit A : Copy of the signed and witnessed Change of Name Deed Poll;
- Exhibit B : Copy of Proof of Citizenship of the adult (e.g. a birth certificate);
- (If applicable) Exhibit C: Copy of the Marriage Certificate (if married) or Copy of the Civil Partnership Licence (if a civil partner) or Copy of the Decree Nisi (if divorced) or Copy of the Order of Dissolution of the Civil Partnership (if a civil partnership was dissolved).
The following wording must be written on each Exhibit:
'This is the Exhibit marked 'A' (or 'B' or 'C') referred to in the Declaration of
(Declarant's name)

this (day) day of (month) in the year (year).'
The Statutory Declaration must be SIGNED AND SWORN UNDER OATH in the presence of either a solicitor, a commissioner for oaths, a notary public or an officer of the Senior Court. A fee will be chargeable for this service. Separate arrangements must therefore be made for the Statutory Declaration to be sworn under oath.
If the person changing their name is married or is in a civil partnership then the spouse or civil partner must give their consent to the change of name. If the spouse or civil partner is not available to sign this document, then the person changing their name can simply send a written notice (letter by registered mail) to their spouse or civil partner notifying them of the change of name. This written notice to the spouse or civil partner must then be included in the application to enrol the change of name.
There may be circumstances where the person cannot send a written notice to their spouse or civil partner, such circumstances may be:
- The person is separated from their spouse or civil partner and does not have their contact details;
- The person's spouse or civil partner has a 'no contact'/restraining court order issued against them;
- The person has no contact with their spouse or civil partner due to domestic violence and/or abuse.
