General name change information A unique gift We are often asked if it is possible to give someone a Deed Poll as a gift if the new name is not known. Usually, a family member has mentioned they would like a middle name, or an additional middle name, but they are not sure exactly what new name to have. In other cases, someone you know would like their first name changed to a shortened version e.g. Catherine to Katie or changed to a nickname e.g. John to Jack.  If you would like to give someone a Deed Poll as a gift, we have a special service available where you can order a Deed Poll even if you do not know what the required new name is to be. So you have something tangible to give as the gift, we will issue a Deed Poll document cover page that shows the name change but a question mark will be inserted where the new or altered name is to appear. The page will be enclosed in our presentation folder, which can be wrapped and given as a gift. Afterwards, the recipient just needs to contact us to tell us exactly what name change they would like. We will then issue a full Deed Poll Pack including a Deed Poll document showing the desired name change. We have shown below part of the online application form where the new name details are entered. The example shows how to complete the application form if a middle name is to be added and you do not know what the name will be. As you can see, you simply put a question mark to indicate where the new name is to be added.  In the delivery section of the application form, you can enter your name and address. Also, we use unmarked envelopes so should the recipient of the gift see the envelope when it is delivered, they will not know it is from us. Please note, there's no need to worry if you provide us with the wrong information. We will make sure the correct name change is shown when we issue the actual Deed Poll document. Of course, if you know what the new name is to be, you just need to complete the application form giving the desired name change. You can also ask us to date the Deed Poll for the day the gift is being given. A printed date by us will look so much better than the recipient hand writing it when the Deed Poll is signed.
