Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a deed poll to change my name after marriage in the UK?

If you’re taking your spouse’s surname after marriage, you usually don’t need a Deed Poll. Your marriage certificate is normally accepted as proof to update your name with UK organisations.

A marriage certificate only supports a straightforward surname change. If your name change affects your middle name or creates a new surname, a Deed Poll is required to make your name change legal and accepted by UK organisations like the Passport Office and banks.

You will need a Deed Poll in the UK if:

  • You’re double-barrelling surnames (e.g., Smith-Jones)
  • You’re combining surnames into a new surname
  • You’re keeping your maiden name as a middle name and taking your spouse’s surname
  • You’re choosing a completely different surname

To change your name after marriage with a Deed Poll, simply apply online, receive your official Deed Poll by post, sign and witness it, then use it to update your name with the Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, banks, and other institutions.

Yes, our official Deed Poll certificates are accepted by the UK Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, banks, and all other major UK organisations.
