No. The entire deed poll process can be completed from your home in Portsmouth — there is no need to visit a solicitor's office or government building. Our deed poll is professionally drafted with the correct legal wording, posted to your Portsmouth address, and you sign it in front of any independent adult witness aged 18 or over (a friend, neighbour or colleague — but not a family member or partner). Once signed, your name change is immediately legally effective. Read more on how it works.

It is recognised by every government department, council, bank, employer, school, university and utility provider. There is no requirement to enrol your deed poll at the Royal Courts of Justice — an unenrolled deed poll has exactly the same legal force and is the route the UK government itself recommends for most adults.
