Making changes
To change your name we’ll need:
- A copy of your new signature
- A copy of your old signature
We’ll also need one of the following documents:
- Marriage certificate
- Decree absolute
- Birth certificate
- Change of name deed
- Civil partnership certificate
We don’t need to see original documents. We’ll accept copies which have been certified by a professional body, such as:
- Solicitor or notary
- Chartered Accountant
- Bank or Building Society official
- Post Office
The documents must:
- Say ‘certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me’ in writing
- Be signed and dated
- Have the name printed under the signature
- Include occupation, address and telephone number
There may be a charge for doing this.
