When do you need a Deed Poll?
The assumption often is that when you change your name, for whatever reason, you need a deed poll in order to do it legally. However, although a deed poll is required in some situations, it isn’t in others, and this can lead to confusion. That’s why we’ve put together a short guide on when you do – and don’t – need a deed poll to change your name.
When You Don’t Need A Deed Poll
To make things really simple, here are the times when you can be called something without needing a deed poll to make it legal. They include:
- Changing your title (ie from Miss to Mrs)
- Being called a nickname or shortened version of your first name
- Returning to your maiden name after a divorce
- When you want to change your surname to a double-barrelled one
When You Do Need A Deed Poll
When it comes to changing your name entirely, rather than simply wanting to be known by a nickname, you will need a deed poll. The examples include:
- Changing your first name
- Adding a middle name
- ‘Meshing’ a surname (instead of double-barrelling, some couples choose to blend their names to make one new name)
- Taking on a new name after gender reassignment
- Taking on a new name that is not your maiden name after a divorce
- Combining your married name with your maiden name after a divorce
