How Much Does a Deed Poll Cost in the UK?
If you're thinking about changing your name, one of the first questions you may have is: How much does a Deed Poll cost in the UK?
The answer depends on how you choose to change your name, whether you need an enrolled or unenrolled Deed Poll, and whether you use a professional document preparation service.
At Trusted Deed Poll, we believe changing your name should be simple, secure and straightforward, with clear pricing from the beginning.
In this guide, we'll explain the different costs, what you may need to pay for and how to avoid unnecessary expenses.
How much does a Deed Poll cost?
The cost of a Deed Poll can vary depending on the service you choose.
For example, you may be able to prepare an unenrolled Deed Poll yourself without paying a document preparation company.
Alternatively, you can choose a professional service to prepare your document.
At Trusted Deed Poll, our pricing is straightforward:
First Deed Poll — £15
Additional original copies — £2 each
Standard UK delivery — FREE
There are no additional standard UK delivery charges added to the advertised price.
Can I get a Deed Poll for free?
Yes. In certain circumstances, you can prepare your own unenrolled Deed Poll without paying a professional provider.
GOV.UK provides information about making an unenrolled Deed Poll yourself.
However, some people prefer to use a professional document preparation service for convenience.
With Trusted Deed Poll, you can complete your application online and have your documents professionally prepared and posted directly to you.
The choice is yours.
What's the difference between an enrolled and unenrolled Deed Poll?
There are two main types of Deed Poll: enrolled and unenrolled.
Unenrolled Deed Poll
An unenrolled Deed Poll is a document recording your decision to change your name.
For eligible individuals, it can be prepared without enrolling it with the High Court.
Once properly completed and executed, it can be used as evidence of your name change, although individual organisations may have their own requirements.
Enrolled Deed Poll
An enrolled Deed Poll is registered through the High Court process and creates a public record of the name change.
This involves an official court fee and additional formalities.
Enrolment is not generally necessary for everyone changing their name, so it's worth understanding the difference before deciding which option is appropriate.
Trusted Deed Poll provides a document preparation service for unenrolled Deed Polls. We do not enrol documents with the High Court.
Are there additional charges for Deed Poll copies?
If you're changing your name, you may need to update records held by several organisations.
Some organisations may request an original document, while others may accept different forms of evidence.
Having additional original Deed Poll copies can be convenient if you're updating several records around the same time.
At Trusted Deed Poll, additional original copies cost just £2 each when ordered with your application.
You can choose the quantity that suits your needs.
Do I have to pay for Deed Poll delivery?
Delivery charges depend on the provider you choose.
Some companies may charge postage separately, so it's worth checking the total cost before placing an order.
At Trusted Deed Poll, standard UK delivery is FREE.
That means your first Deed Poll costs £15, including standard UK delivery.
£15 really does mean £15.
Do I need a solicitor to change my name?
For an unenrolled Deed Poll, you do not generally need to instruct a solicitor.
Eligible individuals can prepare their own documents or use a professional document preparation service.
However, certain circumstances may require additional legal advice, particularly where there are disputes about a child's name change or other legal complications.
