You may need a deed poll if you want to legally change your child’s name in the UK. It’s the simplest way to make your new name official and recognised by all major organisations, including banks, NHS, HM Passport Office, and Schools.
You’ll need a deed poll if you want to:
-
Change your child’s first name, surname, or both
-
Ensure your child’s new name is legally recognised
-
Update official documents such as passports, schools, and bank accounts
-
Make your child’s name change valid for all UK Government and legal purposes
A deed poll provides a legally recognised solution to make it official.
A deed poll must be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses to be legally valid. Your witnesses should:
-
Be over 18 years old
-
Not be a family member or someone who will benefit from your name change
-
Be someone who can confirm your identity if required
Common witnesses include friends, colleagues, or professionals such as solicitors or notaries. Once signed and witnessed, your deed poll becomes a legally recognised document accepted by banks, HMRC, the Passport Office, and other organisations.
Our legally recognised child deed polls start at just £19.95. Apply before 3 PM (Mon–Fri) for same-day processing, with secure Royal Mail Tracked 24 next day delivery.
We guarantee acceptance by the UK Government, or your money back, giving you peace of mind and a hassle-free, legally valid name change.
A child’s name can be changed by deed poll, but only with the proper legal authority. If the child is under 16, anyone with parental responsibility must give their consent. This usually means both parents if they are named on the birth certificate, although in some cases, one parent may act alone if they are the sole holder of parental responsibility. If there is a dispute between those with parental responsibility, a court order may be required.
