The process of changing your name is straight forward and involves the drawing up of a Change of Name Deed document which will set out your old name, and your new adopted name. One of our solicitors can prepare this document, and once it is properly signed and witnessed it can be used as evidence of a change of name.
So long as you are over the age of 18 you are legally entitled to change your name, for any reason you wish, as long as your intent is not to defraud or deceive another person.
If you wish to change a child’s name, this can also be arranged but it is a little more complex as it requires the consent of all parties who have parental responsibility for the child to agree to it.
We will also advise you if a Deed Poll is a better option for you.
