Application in progress
Charles Burgess Deed Polls is a private, confidential service that can legally change your name on your behalf. Changing your name is a legal matter, which means there is no “official” place you can go to register a name change. Charles Burgess Deed Polls offers a process that is quick and straightforward, removing the need for expensive lawyers.
All you need to do is complete your online application (which takes just a few minutes) and choose how many copies of the Deed Poll you need (consider how many people you need to inform of the change). Our dedicated team will process your order in 24 hours and send out your Deed Poll to your chosen address via first class post!
Lastly, once you receive your Deed Poll, you and a chosen (unrelated and over the age of 18) witness will need to sign the document and any copies you’ve made.
There are various reasons why someone might want to change their name, such as:
Women may want to revert back to their maiden name after separation.
An adopted child may want their name to match that of their adoptive parents.
To adopt a name that fits in with the culture they are part of.
To protect themselves or avoid negative associations with their previous names.
Someone might simply prefer a different name.
It’s possible to change a child’s name, provided the adult making the application has consent from everyone with parental responsibility of the child. If there is an objection from someone with parental responsibility, the court may need to intervene. To learn more, see our Child Deed Poll page.
If you are a foreign national, verify with the high commission or embassy of your country in London before applying for a Deed Poll, to see if it will be accepted as a means of changing your passport. We don’t advise changing your name if you cannot change your passport.
For individuals who have acquired asylum or who are refugees, the UK Border Agency recognises Deed Polls as proof of a name change.
