Deed Poll Drafting and Witnessing in Wimbledon, London

Drafting a change of name document: We can prepare an unenrolled deed poll or draft a statutory declaration confirming your change of name. Tell us what the organisation updating your records has asked for so we can confirm the document and fee before you book.

Witnessing a deed poll you already have: Bring your deed unsigned so you can sign it in front of the required witnesses. If your form calls for two witnesses, contact us before booking to confirm who needs to attend. 

Witnessing paperwork for High Court enrolment: We can witness the relevant forms for adult or child applications. For an enrolled deed poll, the person making the supporting statutory declaration, known as the declarant, should attend with valid photo ID.

Do I Need an Enrolled or Unenrolled Deed Poll?

A change of name deed, also called a deed poll, records the link between your previous name and the name you have adopted. You can use it as evidence when changing your first name or surname, adding or removing a middle name, or changing the spelling of your name.

You sign an unenrolled deed poll in front of the required witnesses and can then use it as evidence of your new name. An enrolled deed poll puts the change on the public record through the High Court. For adults, the notice in The Gazette usually includes the applicant’s address. Before applying to enrol your deed, ask your bank or the organisation updating your records what evidence it accepts. 

Changing a Child’s Name by Deed Poll

We can witness paperwork for a child’s deed poll enrolment application. For this route, you need the agreement of everyone with parental responsibility or a court order. Tell us the child’s age when booking so we can confirm what paperwork to bring.

What should I bring to my deed poll appointment?

Bring valid photo ID, such as a passport or photocard driving licence, and the exact spelling of your current and new names. If you already have a deed poll, declaration or court forms, bring them unsigned. Bring any instructions from the organisation requesting proof of your name change. 

What is a change of name deed?

A change of name deed, also called a deed poll, records the link between your previous name and the name you’ve adopted. You can use it as evidence when changing your first name or surname, adding or removing a middle name, or changing the spelling of your name. 

Can I make my own deed poll, and who can witness it?

You can make your own unenrolled deed poll from the age of 16. The GOV.UK process requires two witnesses aged 18 or over. Some organisations have rules about witnesses who are close relatives or live with you. If one of our solicitors will act as your witness, contact us before booking to confirm who else needs to attend. 

Do I need to enrol my deed poll with the High Court?

An unenrolled deed poll may be enough if the organisation updating your records accepts it. High Court enrolment puts your name change on the public record. For adult applications, the notice in The Gazette usually includes your address. 

Can a Wimbledon solicitor witness my High Court deed poll forms?

Yes. We can witness the relevant paperwork for adult and child enrolment applications. For an enrolled change of name deed, the person making the supporting statutory declaration, known as the declarant, should attend with valid photo ID. The adult deed poll form (LOC020) requires two witnesses. The declarant can be one of them. 

Can you help with a child’s deed poll in London?

We can witness paperwork for an application to enrol a child’s deed poll. For the child enrolment route, you’ll need the agreement of everyone with parental responsibility or a court order authorising the change. Tell us the child’s age when booking so we can confirm what paperwork to bring. 

Do I need a deed poll after marriage, civil partnership or divorce?

A marriage or civil partnership certificate usually provides the evidence you need to take your spouse’s or civil partner’s surname. If you’re returning to a previous surname after divorce or dissolution, ask the organisation updating your records whether it accepts your existing documents. 

How soon can I use my new name after signing a deed poll?

You can start using your new name as soon as your unenrolled deed poll has been properly signed and witnessed. Each organisation has its own process for updating your records. High Court enrolment can take several months. 

Can I use a deed poll to update my passport, driving licence or bank account?

Yes. HM Passport Office and DVLA accept a deed poll as evidence of a name change and also ask for evidence in your new name. For a bank account, ask your bank whether it accepts an unenrolled deed poll and which supporting documents it needs.
