Looking for swift, practical advice and support on how to change your name, or change the name of a child?

Our change of name solicitors are physically based in Yorkshire, but our combination of experience and expertise allows us to regularly support clients with deed poll register matters throughout the UK.

How can I change my name?

If you are aged 16 or over, the process of changing your name is easier than you think. It is done by using a change a of name deed, which can be prepared by solicitors. Once the deed has been signed by you and witnessed, your solicitor can then provide you with certified copies to update all necessary organisations (i.e DVLA, your bank, etc…).

Here at Harrowells, after a free initial discussion by telephone, we offer a one-off appointment for a fixed fee. This fee will include the appointment itself, preparing the deed and the execution of the deed. Our fixed fee for changing your name is £290+vat together with an ID check fee of £15+vat.

What if I am under the age of 16?

In order to change the name of anyone under the age of 16, parental consent needs to be given by all parties with parental responsibility (usually both parents).

If both parents do agree to the change of name, as with above, a deed can be used, which will include confirmation of parental consent. Again, Harrowells can offer this service through a one-off appointment. Our fixed fee for changing the name of anyone under the age of 16 is £390+vat together with an ID check fee of £15+vat.
