Replace an Original Deed Poll
As there is no official deed poll register, unless you have previously used Legal Deedpolls to prepare you a deed poll, we will not have your name change details.
Therefore you will need to apply online for a replacement deed poll to receive a documentary evidence that you have previously changed your name.
You will need to remember that you are ordering a replacement, so your current name will be stated as your new name on the online application form.
This application form will provide you with a deed poll that includes an additional declaration, which states that you have been using your current name for all purposes since a particular date.
You will be able to use this deed poll as official documentary evidence of your change of name. Please note: you must be at least 16 years of age to complete this application form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a replacement deed poll?
A replacement deed poll is a document that provides you with legal proof that you have previously changed your name on a certain date and have been using it for everything since that date.
Is there an official deed poll office in the UK?
This is a common misconception. There is no government department or entity that provides deed polls. All the providers of deed poll documents in the UK, are either lawyers or private providers like ourselves.
How long will it take to change my name?
You will receive your deed poll and copies within 24 hours ( except weekends and bank holidays).
How much does a deed poll cost?
Our replacement deed polls are £15.99 including VAT. There is a drop down box on the checkout for you to choose the amount of certified copies you require incase you lose or misplace the replacement.
What other costs will there be to change my name?
The authorities where you change your name such as the Passport Office and DVLA will require you to submit your deed with an official application form and fees may be charged for doing so.
Do I really need a deed poll?
You will need a replacement deed poll if you have previously changed your name and have either lost or misplaced your previous documents. A replacement will be sufficient legal evidence of your name change.
