Do I need a Deed Poll?


Firstly the circumstances under which a Deed Poll is not required:
  • Upon a marriage or civil partnership where the couple keep their original names or adopt the name of one party
  • Upon divorce where the Decree Absolute and marriage certificate are available, this can be used by a woman to return to their maiden name.
  • To change the surname of a child upon adoption if they are taking the host family's surname.


In most other circumstances such as a change of name before a divorce is finalised or a couple taking double-barelled surnames upon marriage, a deed poll will be required.
