General name change information
Who to advise after changing your name by Deed Poll
After changing your name by Deed Poll, you must notify
everyone that has your personal records to let them know you have changed your
name. Government departments and agencies such as the Passport Office and the
DVLA will need to see your original Deed Poll document (or legal copy) as will
your bank, building society and credit card companies. Most other companies and
organisations will accept a photocopy. If you have changed the name of your child,
you will also be required to provide the letter of consent, which we return when
we send you your Deed Poll documentation.
Listed below are many of the companies and organisations you need to advise of your change of
name. Our Deed Poll Pack contains a more comprehensive list together with
notes about what you need to do for each.
