all UK government departments, companies and organisations enabling you to get all your official
documents and records changed to your new name including your passport, driving licence, bank and

the government’s Ministry of Justice, to whom we are not affiliated, please read our article on
the subject by
clicking here.

 |
Anyone living in the United
Kingdom can apply to us regardless of nationality and country of birth. British citizens
living overseas can also apply. |
|
We do not require someone to
confirm your identity who has known you for at least 10 years and owns property in the UK. |
|
If you are separated and wish to revert
to your maiden name, we do not require your husband's written consent. |
|
You can have your Deed Poll documentation
posted to you as soon as the same day you apply for next working day delivery. |
|
We will not make your personal details
available to the public. |
|
Our fee is considerably lower than the
fees payable to the Ministry of Justice and a solicitor. |
We have made our service as quick and simple as possible
and there are four ways you can apply. You can apply by post, by phone
or online, in which case your Deed Poll documentation will be delivered to your
door using your chosen delivery service. You can also apply in person at
our offices in Freebournes Court, Witham, Essex and use our Premium service, where
we will issue your Deed Poll documentation within the hour.

informative articles about changing your name. If after reading our articles
you have any unanswered questions, please

* A Deed Poll will not get your birth, marriage or
decree absolute certificate changed. It is also not possible to get permanent
records changed such as past examination certificates. There are some
circumstances that enable you to get a birth certificate amended or reissued
thereby avoiding the need for a Deed Poll. Please read
Can a birth certificate be changed?
for further information.
