Good to know

## Frequently asked questions

### Is an online deed poll legal?+

Yes. A deed poll has no legally prescribed form, paper or issuer. It’s valid once it contains the correct declarations and you sign it in ink in front of two independent adult witnesses. GOV.UK itself confirms a specialist agency can make one for you for a fee — which is exactly what we do.

### How quickly will I receive my deed poll?+

Within minutes. Your personalised PDF is generated the moment your payment completes and is emailed to you straight away, with a re-download link that works for 12 months. Every traditional competitor posts documents, which takes one to three working days.

### Will HM Passport Office accept a deed poll I’ve printed at home?+

Yes. A printout you then sign in ink is an original document — what HMPO rejects is a photocopy of an already-signed document. You’ll also need one document showing your new name in use, dated within the last 12 months, such as a bank statement or payslip.

### Do I need a solicitor to change my name?+

No. Changing your name by deed poll is not a reserved legal activity, and no solicitor, court or government body needs to approve it. Solicitors typically charge £150–£300 for the same document we personalise for £14.99.

### Is this a subscription?+

No, and it never will be. Every product is a one-time payment — £14.99 for an adult deed poll, £17.99 for a child deed poll, from £9.99 for statutory declarations. No trials, no memberships, no recurring charges of any kind.

### What if an organisation refuses my document?+

If HM Passport Office, the DVLA, HMRC or any UK bank refuses your document solely because of its wording, tell us within 60 days and we refund you in full. In practice, rejections come from signing errors — which our step-by-step instruction card is designed to prevent.
