Lost Your Deed Poll? Here’s What You Can Do
✅ Order a replacement Deed Poll online.
✅ We draft & dispatch same day – If ordered before 3:45 pm
✅Sign and date the replacement Deed Poll and start using it right away.
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 a Certified Copy (if an archive exists)
If a provider (such as ours or another service) stored a digital or certified copy of your deed poll, you may be able to request a re-issued legal copy.
2. Apply for a Replacement Deed Poll (most people choose this)
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 date your name changed.
A replacement document is legally as effective as your missing one and can be used for all official purposes, including passport applications.
What a Replacement Deed Poll Does
A replacement document:
Proves your name changed on a specific date in the past
Is legally equivalent to your original deed poll
Is accepted by all government and financial organisations
Can be used even if your original change of name had no formal paperwork (change of name by usage)
A replacement is not the same as ordering an extra copy of a recent deed poll, you only need a replacement when the original cannot be retrieved.

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 officially enrolled (which most deed polls are not).
In these cases, the standard solution is simply to apply for a new replacement deed poll.
Important: 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.

Most applications take just a few minutes. What you’ll need to tell us:
Your previous and current names
When your name originally changed (approximate years are fine)
Who Can Request a Copy of a Child’s Deed Poll?
If the deed poll belonged to a child, a replacement can be issued to:
A parent or guardian with parental responsibility or
The child themselves (if aged 16 or over)
If you didn’t originally apply for the child’s deed poll, we may ask for proof of parental responsibility.
