1

Fill in the form

Old name, new name, address. That's all a deed poll needs.

2

Print & sign with two witnesses

Two independent adults (18+), not relatives, not at your address. Sign both your old and new signatures in front of them.

It's legally valid immediately

An unenrolled deed poll is the standard way to change your name in England and Wales — no court, no solicitor, no fee.

Questions people actually ask

Is this really free? What's the catch?
Really free, and the document is complete — the same standard wording paid services print for £15–30. Our paid product is a different thing: the full UK kit with your step-by-step checklist and signed-and-ready letters for banks and your employer.
Will the Passport Office and my bank accept it?
Yes — HM Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC and UK banks accept unenrolled deed polls signed before two independent adult witnesses. A few organisations occasionally ask for extra certified copies, which is why the paid kit prints it in triplicate.
Do I need to enrol it at the Royal Courts of Justice?
Almost never. Enrolment (£50.32) just puts the deed on public record — it doesn't make it 'more legal'. Most people never enrol.
Can I use this for my child?
No — a child's name change needs everyone with parental responsibility to consent and uses a different form. This generator is for adults (16+) changing their own name.

Want the whole job done, not just the document?

The full UK Name Change Kit adds your step-by-step checklist (Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, GP, electoral roll), your deed poll in triplicate, and a signed-and-ready letter for every bank and your employer.

WeddingNameChange.com is a document-preparation aid, not a law firm; this generator produces a standard-form deed poll and is not legal advice.
