Why Order Extra Official Copies?

Changing your name is an exciting step — but getting every organisation to update their records can quickly become a slow and frustrating process. Most official bodies (like your bank, HM Passport Office, or DVLA) won’t accept a photocopy of your Deed Poll. They need an original official copy.

Here’s where it gets tricky: if you only have one original, you’ll need to send it off to one organisation at a time — and then wait for it to be returned. This can be time-consuming, especially if they take weeks to process your request. Worse still, documents sometimes get lost in the post, leaving you without a Deed Poll altogether.

That’s why we strongly recommend ordering extra official copies when you apply. This lets you:

• Notify several organisations at the same time — no more waiting around.
• Keep a few spares in case any are lost or damaged.
• Save yourself stress, delays, and repeat postage costs.

The fastest, easiest way to update your name everywhere — without the paperwork headache

Changing your name doesn’t end with a Deed Poll. Once your name is legally changed, you’ll need to notify banks, HMRC, your employer, your GP, your pension provider, your passport office, DVLA, and many more. Each one has different requirements — forms, letters, proofs. If you miss something or get it wrong, you could face delays or even rejection.
