A Deed Poll is an official document needed to change your name legally. It is recognised by all official government departments, companies and organisations and will therefore allow you to change your name on your passport, bank accounts and other official documents.
There are however documents that cannot be changed and these are Birth certificates, Marriage certificates and Decree absolutes. You may change your christian name, middle name or surname by deed poll.
Changing your name by deed poll means that you will completely revoke the use of your former name and will at all times thereafter use only your new name as shown on your deed poll.
The Deed poll is a legal document signed by yourself and witnessed by two others that commits you to use your new name in all future proceedings.

-
