Deed Poll Service in Derry / Londonderry

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 Derry / Londonderry residents to help you with the next steps.

Derry City Registration Office

The District Registration Office is located on Magazine Street, within the historic city walls. 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: 14 Magazine Street, Derry, BT48 6HH
• Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm (Appointment usually required)

HM Passport Office

For urgent passport services ("Fast Track" or "Premium"), residents will need to travel to Belfast, which is the location of the HM Passport Office for Northern Ireland.

• Nearest Major Office: HM Passport Office, Law Courts Buildings, Chichester Street, Belfast, BT1 3JY
• Travel: Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes by car via the A6, or by train from the transport hub to Belfast Grand Central (formerly Great Victoria Street).
• Note: You must book an appointment online before visiting for urgent services.

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 main branch at Custom House Street is very central.
