Who to advice after changing your name
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, DVLA and Inland Revenue will need to see your original Deed Poll document (or certified 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.
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.
