Why Opt for a Speedy Name Change?
Bureaucratic red tape is the last thing you want to slow you down when you decide to change your name. A deed poll is a legal document that proves you have changed your name from your old name to a new name. The idea is simple but the execution needs to be flawless for government bodies, banks and employers to accept it without question.
The Urgent Need to Change Your Name
For many, changing one’s name is not an easy choice; it is an urgent requirement. Maybe you have a holiday coming up and need your passport to show your new name, or maybe you are applying for a mortgage and need all your identification to be in perfect agreement. Delays in getting your deed poll can set off an administrative nightmare.
Typical reasons for needing a quick deed poll
Reasons to request a 24 hour deed poll delivery UK are numerous. Some of the most common scenarios we see every day are:
Marriage, Divorce and Personal Re-formation Changing your surname is usually as simple as getting a marriage certificate or decree absolute, but many people use these life landmarks as an opportunity to change their first or middle names, or to create a double-barrelled surname. In these cases a formal deed poll is needed.

How 24 hour deed poll delivery UK Works
And you might be wondering how something this official, such as a legal name change, can happen overnight. To be honest, it’s a fairly smooth process with the right systems in place. At Deedpollservices.co.uk we have made every step simple so that there is no waiting time.
The Step By Step Approach
Our express service makes changing your name as easy as ordering your weekly groceries online.” Here's how it works from start to finish:
Completing Your Application The first step only takes less than five minutes. Just go to our application page and fill in your old legal name, your new name of choice and your address. Step one is completely frictionless, because we don’t need you to send us any physical documents.
Processing & Despatch Once you hit submit, our team of legal drafters goes to work. Order before our daily cut off time and your deed poll is drafted, checked for legal accuracy, printed on premium, secure paper and embossed with our official seal. It is then sent via Royal Mail First Class or Special Delivery, providing the 24 hour deed poll delivery UK promise.
What comes in the mail? The following day when the postman arrives you will get a legally binding Adult Deed Poll document ready for you to sign, date and have witnessed. Like that.
Picking Your Witnesses
The only thing that makes your deed poll legally binding in the UK is signing your deed poll before an independent witness. Your witness must be 18 or over, know who you are and be independent (they cannot be a relative or live at the same address as you). This is the ideal time for a friend, colleague or neighbour.
What do you do with your deed poll when it arrives?
When your deed poll comes through your letterbox, and you sign it with your witness, your name has officially changed. But the road doesn’t end there. Now you have to tell the world.”
REWRITING OFFICIAL PAPERS
Your deed poll is your golden ticket to getting your identity changed on every official record. Because you chose 24 hour deed poll delivery UK you can start this process days or even weeks ahead of when you would have otherwise.
Passport and Driving Licences You will need to provide an original deed poll (or a copy officially certified) to the HM Passport Office and the DVLA to obtain your new passport and driving licence. Our deed polls are fully legally recognised so you can send them off with total confidence.
Certified Copies – What’s The Fuss When using our 24 hour deed poll delivery UK service, we strongly recommend that you order more than one certified copy. Why not?' As you will have to notify a number of organisations at once your bank, your employer, HMRC, your mortgage provider and the DVLA. If you only have one copy you have to wait for one organisation to send it back before you can send it on to the next. If you have between 5 and 10 certified copies, you can update everything at once and it can save you weeks of waiting around.
Why Choose Deedpollservices.co.uk?
There are loads of ‘free’ deed poll templates online but doing it yourself can often lead to frustration.
