Do I need to send my Deed Poll back to The Name Change Company?
Only send it back to us if you have ordered certified copies or you wish to use our archiving service. Otherwise you can start to use it straight away as documentary evidence of your change of name in order to have your official records and documents amended or reissued to show your new name.
See our FAQ 'Who do I inform about my change of name?'
