Change Your Name
by Deed Poll
Deedly is the fast, simple and stress-free way to legally change your name in the United Kingdom!
Government Acceptance
100% Guaranteed
The process of changing your name in the United Kingdom is one of the simplest in the world. You don't need to apply to a court, visit your local council office, or hire an expensive solicitor.
Instead, you can change your name in just a few days using a document called a deed poll, a legally binding declaration that states your intention to abandon your old name and adopt a new name for all purposes.
There are no strict criteria that you have to meet in order to be eligible for a deed poll. Anyone aged 16 or over who resides in the United Kingdom can change their name at any time and for any reason.
The UK Government recognises deed polls as the correct and legal method for changing your name. Once you have a signed and completed deed poll, you can update your name on your passport, driving licence, and other official documents.
Whether you're combining surnames with your partner, adding a middle name, or embracing an entirely new identity, you can make it official with a deed poll!
More than Just a New Name
Our deed polls are printed on premium ivory parchment paper, and embossed with a gold seal. You’ll be proud to keep yours, and confident that it will last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my deed poll be accepted?
Yes! We’ve issued over 5,000 deed polls and guarantee that it will be accepted by all government bodies, organisations, and UK companies - or your money back.
How long does it take?
You'll receive your deed poll as soon as the next day after applying. Once you've signed it and had it witnessed, you can legally start using your new name.
Who can be a witness for my deed poll?
Anyone aged 18 or over who knows you personally and is ‘independent.’ This means they can't be a close relative or live at the same address as you. Most people simply ask two friends, neighbours, or colleagues.
How do I register my new name?
Unlike births and deaths, there's no central registry for names or name changes in England and Wales, so you don't need to officially "register" your new name.
Your completed deed poll acts as legal proof of your name change. You can use it to update your name with various record holders, such as HM Passport Office for your passport and DVLA for your driving licence.
