Because the UK has no central register of name changes, your exact original Deed Poll cannot be retrieved. But you still have two straightforward options:
1. Request an Archived Deed Poll (if an archive exists)
If you opted into the Archiving Service at the time of your initial application, you can request additional Deed Poll via this service. Each additional archived Deed Poll will cost £4.99.
2. Apply for a Replacement Deed Poll
If no archived copy exists or your Deed Poll was issued long ago, by another provider, or through a solicitor, you can apply for a Replacement Deed Poll confirming the original details including the name change date. Replacement Deed Poll fee is £36.00 for one name change.
A replacement document is legally as effective as your missing one and can be used for all official purposes, including passport applications.
How to Apply for Replacement Deed Poll
Application takes just a few minutes. What you will need to tell us is your previous and current names, when your name originally changed (approximate years are fine), your date of birth, your home address, and your delivery address.

What If Your Deed Poll Was Issued by Another Provider?
Older deed polls and documents issued by other companies or solicitors are rarely archived unless they were enrolled (which most deed polls are not). In these cases, the standard solution is simply to apply for a new replacement deed poll.
If Your Name Has Changed Again Since Your Original Deed Poll
Please tell us all name changes you’ve had, dates of each change and how each change was made (deed poll, marriage, usage, divorce, etc.)
Your replacement deed poll will include a declaration confirming that you have used your current name for all purposes since a specific date or year very helpful for showing organisations this is a replacement, not a new name change.
Who Can Request a Copy of a Child’s Deed Poll?
If the deed poll relates to a child, a replacement may be issued either to a parent or legal guardian who holds parental responsibility, or to the child themselves if they are aged 16 or over. Where the replacement request is made by someone who was not the original applicant, evidence of parental responsibility may be required before the deed poll can be reissued.
