About Deed Polls What is a Deed Poll?
Although Deed Polls are used for various purposes relating to an individual legally committing themselves to doing something, they have one generally accepted meaning, that is, a change of name.

A Deed Poll for a change of name contains three declarations and by executing the Deed Poll (signing, dating and having your signing witnessed) you are committing yourself to:
Our Deed Polls also carry our official seal so there is no question about its authenticity. In summary, a Deed Poll issued by us provides you with documentary evidence that you have changed your name and that you are legally binding yourself to using your new name. Although a Deed Poll is an English legal document, our Deed Polls are recognised by all government departments, companies and organisations throughout the United Kingdom. Last updated: 14 June 2005

Deed Poll therefore binds the person who signs it to a particular course of
action as detailed on the Deed Poll document.
