Quick answer
A deed poll records your decision to use a new name. Our £14.99 service prepares a personalised PDF for you to print and sign with two witnesses. You then apply to update your records using each organisation’s evidence requirements. Free government wording is also available if you prefer to prepare your own document.

Print, sign & witness
Print at home and sign in ink in front of two independent adult witnesses. Update each organisation separately, following its evidence requirements. Some applications need additional documents.
Evidence and next steps
Who accepts a deed poll you print at home?
A correctly signed home-printed deed poll can provide evidence of a name change. Each organisation sets its own evidence requirements. Check your route before buying, especially if a bank asks for an enrolled deed poll or additional documents.
Passport name change
For a deed-poll application, prepare evidence linking your names and showing the new name in use. Passport replacement has a separate fee.
Source: HM Passport Office requirements
Driving licence name change
DVLA needs original name-change documents and, for a deed poll, evidence of the new name in use. A name-only change is free.
Bank account name change
Ask your bank which documents and update route it accepts. Its policy may differ from another bank’s; check before buying or enrolling a deed.
HMRC name change
Use the official HMRC service to report your new name. Updating payroll, benefits or a bank account does not replace this step.
Universal Credit and benefits
Report the change promptly through your Universal Credit account and tell other benefit providers separately. Follow their requests for evidence.

NHS and GP name change
Contact your GP practice about changing your name. Ask what evidence it needs and which linked records it will update.
Get evidence of your new name in use before an application that requires it. An accepted employer letter or bank document can help. Report benefit changes promptly; there is no single order that fits every situation.
Use the free name change organiser to plan your updates, or read how long a deed poll and record changes take.
