Quick answer

InstantDeedPoll.co.uk is an independent document service, not a law firm, and not affiliated with HM Government. We provide professionally drafted, widely accepted document wording and plain-English guidance — not legal advice. If your circumstances are complex, consult a solicitor before acting.

## Are you a law firm?

No. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Our documents use professionally drafted, widely accepted wording; if your circumstances are complex, consult a solicitor. Deed poll drafting and statutory declaration template provision are not reserved legal activities under the Legal Services Act 2007, so no licence is needed to provide them — but that also means we do not give advice about your individual legal position.

## Are you affiliated with the government?

No. InstantDeedPoll.co.uk is an independent document service and is not affiliated with HM Government. We never describe ourselves or our documents as official, government-issued or government-approved, and we do not use crown imagery or government-style design. The free government wording is published at gov.uk for anyone to use — our service adds personalisation, formatting, instructions and a guarantee.

## Is the information on this site legal advice?

No — it is general guidance written from primary sources (legislation.gov.uk, gov.uk and HMPO guidance) and reviewed by a paralegal. It is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the review date shown on each page, but it cannot account for your individual circumstances. For contested or complex matters — disputed child name changes, court proceedings, immigration — consult a solicitor.
