Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about changing your name in Reading
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 Reading, 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.

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 Reading residents to help you with the next steps.
Reading Register Office
The Reading Register Office is located within the Civic Offices on Bridge Street. 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.

- Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm (Appointment usually required)
HM Passport Office
There is no HM Passport Office located directly in Reading. However, thanks to the high-speed rail links, the most accessible office for urgent "Fast Track" or "Premium" appointments is London Victoria.

- Travel: Trains from Reading Station to London Paddington take as little as 23 minutes, followed by a short tube or taxi ride to Victoria.

Post Office Check & Send
To update your driving licence or send off non-urgent passport applications securely, you can use the Check & Send service available at main Post Offices. The branch inside WHSmith on Broad Street is the most central option.
