How Much Does a Deed Poll Cost in 2026?

Yes — the legal effect is identical at every price. There is no legally prescribed form, paper, issuer or registry for a deed poll: validity comes from the correct declarations plus wet-ink signatures before two independent witnesses. What you pay for is convenience: wording accuracy, formatting, instructions, delivery speed and support. See our free template page for the genuinely £0 route.

Some posted services charge £1.50–£4 for each extra copy, add phone-order surcharges, tier their delivery prices, and charge £15.95–£25 for archiving. Our price is all-in: one payment, unlimited re-downloads for 12 months, no extras. Subscription traps are the other extreme — some legal-document sites auto-convert a cheap trial into £29–£39 a month. We never charge recurring fees of any kind.

The court fee is £53.05 (2026 figure — the court fee is set by the government, so check the current fee on gov.uk) and the process takes roughly two to three weeks, sometimes up to three months. Enrolment adds a permanent public record in The Gazette, not extra legal validity, so around 98–99% of people skip it. Full detail on enrolled vs unenrolled deed polls.

Institution fees apply however you made your deed poll: a passport renewal costs £102 online, while the DVLA updates your driving licence free. The complete sequence — and what each organisation charges — is in our who to notify checklist.
