Frequently Asked Questions

It is possible to be in possession of your Deed Poll documentation within the hour (using our Premium one-hour while-you-wait service). We also offer same day dispatch on all deed polls and are posted 1st Class using Royal Mail.

 

The whole process of changing your name will probably take you at least two weeks to accomplish. This is because the process is not complete until you have notified record holders (government departments, companies and organisations that hold your name records) of your name change by showing them your Deed Poll document.

You only need to send your Deed Poll back to us if you also order our Legal Copy and Archive Service. For further information about this recommended service, please click on this link (opens pop-up window). If you do not also order our Legal Copy and Archive Service, after you have signed your Deed Poll, you can start using it to get your documents and records changed to your new name.

The only other expense we are aware of is the cost of getting your passport reissued in your new name. Current passport fees are available on the passport office’s website or by calling their Adviceline (see the answer to question 3 above for their number and hours).

You will not experience any problems with a Deed Poll issued by us. We are by far the main issuer of Deed Poll documentation in the United Kingdom (we have issued over 670 thousand Deed Polls during the past 15 years) and our Deed Polls are accepted by everyone. Our Deed Polls are printed on security paper and carry our official seal so there is no question about its authenticity. Unfortunately, we issue many Deed Polls to people who have wasted their money buying from cheap Internet sites.

Your credit rating will not be affected because when you complete any application form for credit or a loan etc, you will be asked on the application form if you have ever been known by a former name. By disclosing your former name, your credit history can be accessed. Furthermore, when you notify your bank of your change of name, your bank will notify the credit reference agencies.

We provide a professional unenrolled deed poll service to take away the complexity of creating a deed poll. We also provide a guarantee should you ever have any issues with a deed poll issued by us.
