My name was changed by Deed Poll and I now want to revert back to my birth name. Do I need a Deed Poll?
You need documentary evidence of any change of name regardless of whether the change is to a brand new name or back to your original birth name. Therefore, in order for organisations to amend your personal records you are advised to obtain a Deed Poll in order to provide this documentary evidence.
