Deed of Change of Name

A deed of change of name is a legal document—used in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and some other countries with legal systems based on English common law—for an official name change by a person or family. It is one use of a deed poll.

Some organisations, such as banks and government departments, may not recognise a name change without documentation, such as a deed or statutory declaration. However, an official document is not a legal requirement for a valid name change according to common law.

Famous quotes containing the words deed and/or change:

    Hardly had the glow been kindled by some good deed on your part or by some little triumph over your rivals or by a word of praise from your parents or mentors when it would begin to cool and fade leaving you in a very short time as chill and dim as before.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    The same things change their names at such a rate;
    For instance—passion in a lover’s glorious,
    But in a husband is pronounced uxorious.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
