This document will allow you to change your name by one of two methods - deed poll or statutory declaration. You may have been using your new name for some time, but wish now to formally acknowledge your change of name, or you may wish to be known by your new name from this day forward. Guidance is included to help you choose which method is right for you.
If you choose the deed poll option, you can choose to register (‘enrol’) this document with the Royal Courts of Justice. This document will provide the necessary documentation and guidance you need to do this.
You can only use this document if you are 16 years or older.
As part of this service, Nelsons will complete a Limited Review which will include reviewing the answers you input to the system, answering any reasonable questions you may have and making minor changes required to ensure you receive a document that is suitable your requirements based on the answers you gave the system. The time we spend on your document is limited, but designed to fit most people’s needs. Should your document require significant extra work, we will provide you with a quote for the additional work.
This product is supplied so that you can complete it yourself and has no legal support. Your document will instantly draft itself on screen for your particular circumstances as you answer the interactive questionnaire and follow the guidance notes.
