Questions About Our Service

Everything you need to know about how UK Name Change works, what's included, and why over 160,000 people have trusted us

About Our Service

Every order includes a professionally printed, legally valid deed poll posted to you via Royal Mail Tracked 24 — that's included in the price, not an extra. On top of that, you get:

  • A personal account dashboard to manage your name change
  • Step-by-step name change guide covering every organisation
  • Interactive task checklist for updating HMRC, DVLA, and more
  • Ready-made notification letter templates
  • Secure digital storage of your deed poll
  • Priority email support and lifetime access to your account
We handle everything from printing to posting — you just fill in the online form and we take care of the rest.

Our adult deed poll starts from £14.49, and our complete name change package is £39.99 £29.99 — both include free tracked delivery. There are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no solicitor costs.

For context, using a solicitor to draft a deed poll typically costs £100–£200+ and can take weeks. We give you a legally identical document, professionally printed and posted within 1–2 working days.

We also offer children's deed polls at the same prices, with the additional parental consent requirements handled for you.

One payment covers everything — your deed poll, tracked delivery, dashboard access, guides, and ongoing support.

We print and dispatch every deed poll within 1–2 working days of your order. It's then delivered via Royal Mail Tracked 24, which typically arrives within 1–3 working days after dispatch.

  • You'll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow your delivery
  • Your dashboard updates automatically with dispatch and delivery status
  • If anything goes wrong with delivery, our support team will sort it out
Note: Orders placed on weekends or bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

Yes — every deed poll we produce is legally valid under the Enrolment of Deeds (Change of Name) Regulations 1994, and is accepted by all UK organisations including:

  • DVLA — for updating your driving licence
  • HMRC — for tax records, National Insurance, and student loans
  • HM Passport Office — for passport applications
  • Banks, building societies, and financial institutions
  • NHS / GP surgeries, dentists, and hospitals
  • Universities, employers, and utility providers
You do not need an "enrolled" deed poll. Unenrolled deed polls are equally valid in law and accepted everywhere. Our name change guide explains the difference.

We're not just a deed poll printer — we provide a complete name change service. Over 160,000 people have used us, and we're rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from + reviews.

The Process

We've designed the process to be as simple as possible. Here's how it works from start to finish:

1
Fill in our online form

Takes about 2 minutes. We'll print your deed poll and post it via tracked delivery.

2
Sign it when it arrives

In front of one independent witness — anyone over 18 who isn't a family member.

3
Start updating your records

Log into your dashboard and use our interactive checklist to notify HMRC, DVLA, your bank, GP, and everyone else.

For a full walkthrough, see our How It Works page.

You need one independent witness — someone who knows you personally but isn't related to you or living at your address. Most people ask a friend, colleague, or neighbour.

Valid Witnesses
  • Any friend or colleague over 18
  • A neighbour who knows you
  • A professional (teacher, manager, etc.)
Cannot Be Witnesses
  • Family members (by blood or marriage)
  • Anyone living at your address
  • Your partner or spouse

Your witness simply watches you sign, then signs the deed poll themselves and adds their name and address. That's it — no formal role, no paperwork for them.

Once it arrives and you've signed it with your witness, you can start using your new name straight away. We don't just leave you to figure it out — your account includes:

  • Interactive task dashboard — a checklist of every organisation you need to update, with links and instructions for each
  • Pre-written letter templates — ready to send to banks, employers, utility providers, and more
  • Detailed guides — covering HMRC, DVLA, passport, and NHS updates specifically

Most people complete all their updates within a few weeks. You can work through the list at your own pace — your account access never expires.

Yes — we handle children's deed polls with the same care and speed as adult ones. The process is very similar, with one key difference: all people with parental responsibility for the child need to consent to the name change.

  • Our child deed poll form guides you through the consent requirements
  • The deed poll is printed and posted the same way — via tracked delivery
  • You get the same dashboard, guides, and support to update the child's records

If you're unsure about consent rules or parental responsibility, our support team can help.

We have a real, UK-based support team — not a chatbot. If you have any questions before, during, or after your order, you can contact us and we'll usually respond the same working day.
