Before you start
To change your name, you will need to send us a certified or original copy of your marriage certificate, deed poll, birth certificate or decree absolute. Make sure you have a copy of one of these documents ready.
If you are sending a certified copy, each page must be completed with the wording ‘the copy is a true and complete copy of the original’ with an original signature. The front or last page should also give full contact details of the person who has certified the copy. It must be certified by a solicitor, bank manager, stockbroker, investment manager, IFA, accountant, teacher, doctor, minister of religion or justice of the peace.
