Many people carefully store their deed poll after changing their name, but occasionally documents get lost, damaged or accidentally thrown away.

If this happens, don't panic.

There are usually steps you can take to continue updating your records or obtain a replacement document if needed.

Why Is Your Deed Poll Important?

Your deed poll provides evidence of your legal name change.

Many organisations may ask to see it when updating your records, particularly if they haven't already changed your details.

Keeping it somewhere safe can make future updates much easier.

Can You Get Another Copy?

If you obtained your deed poll from the original provider, you may be able to request a replacement document, depending on their records and policies.

If replacement documents are available, they can often be prepared using the same information as your original application.

What If My Original Was Damaged?

Water damage, accidental tearing or general wear can make documents difficult to use.

Replacing a damaged deed poll can help ensure you always have a professional document available when organisations request it.

It's Worth Ordering Extra Certified Copies

Many people update several organisations after changing their name.

Having additional certified copies means you can send documents to different organisations without relying on a single original.

At Trusted Deed Poll, additional certified copies are available for just £2 each when ordered with your deed poll.
