Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about changing your name in Belfast
Yes, absolutely. A deed poll is a legal document that proves you've changed your name. It's accepted by all UK government departments, banks, and organisations including the Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, and NHS.
You can download your deed poll instantly after completing our online form and payment. If you need printed copies delivered to Belfast, we offer standard (3-5 days) and next-day delivery options.
You can change your name to almost anything you like. The only restrictions are that your new name cannot be offensive, promote criminal activity, or be intended to deceive or defraud.
No, registration (enrollment) is completely optional and not required by law. An unenrolled deed poll is just as legally valid as an enrolled one. Most people choose not to enroll as it's an additional cost with no real benefit.
The Basic package (£19.49) includes your deed poll document and witness instructions. The Complete package (£29.99) adds a comprehensive step-by-step guide, dashboard access with letter templates for every organisation, and priority support - making the whole name change process much easier.
Yes, we offer a dedicated child deed poll service. Children under 16 require consent from everyone with parental responsibility. Start a child deed poll here.
Local Information for Belfast
Once you have received your deed poll from UK Name Change, you will need to inform various organizations to update your records. Here is some essential local information for Belfast residents to help you with the next steps.
General Register Office (GRONI) & City Hall
The Belfast District Registration Office is located within the magnificent City Hall. While you do not need to register your deed poll here (our documents are valid immediately upon signing), this is the place to contact for certified copies of birth or marriage certificates if you need them for your applications.
- Address: City Hall, Donegall Square, Belfast, BT1 5GS
- Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm (Appointment usually required)
HM Passport Office
Belfast residents have a significant advantage as the city hosts one of the UK's main HM Passport Offices. This makes accessing "Fast Track" and "Premium" one-day services incredibly convenient without leaving the city.
- Address: HM Passport Office, Law Courts Buildings, Chichester Street, Belfast, BT1 3JY
- Travel: Located in the city center, a short walk from City Hall and Victoria Square.
- Note: You must book an appointment online before visiting for urgent services. Walk-ins are not accepted.
DVA (Driver & Vehicle Agency)
Unlike in Great Britain (where you contact the DVLA in Swansea), Northern Ireland residents must update their driving licence with the DVA in Coleraine. You can pick up the relevant DL1 forms at a local Post Office.
- Postal Address for Applications: DVA, County Hall, Castlerock Road, Coleraine, BT51 3TB
Post Office Check & Send
To send off non-urgent passport applications securely, you can use the Check & Send service available at main Post Offices. The branch on Bridge Street is very central.
