In Ireland how might one get a deed of change name?

In Ireland to get a deed of change of name, also known as a deed poll, you can follow these steps:

1. Obtain the necessary forms:

You can obtain the required forms from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website or from the County Registrar's Office in the county where you reside.

2. Complete the forms and provide required documents:**

Fill out the deed poll form accurately, including your current full name and the new full name you wish to adopt, as well as other personal details. You may also need to provide documents such as your birth certificate, passport, and utility bills as proof of your identity and address.

3. Sign and witness the deed poll:**

The deed poll must be signed by you in the presence of two witnesses who must be over 18 years of age and not related to you by blood or marriage.

4. Commissioner for Oaths:**

An additional witness called the Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public must witness your signing of the deed poll. The Commissioner of Oaths can be a solicitor or a person appointed by the relevant Court who has the authority to witness affidavits and other legal documents.

5. Register the deed poll:**

Once the deed poll is signed, you must register it with the Registrar of the High Court in Dublin. You can do this by submitting the original copy of the deed poll and the required fee to the Registrar's Office.

6. Receive a certified copy:**

Upon successful registration, you will receive a certified copy of the deed poll. This certified copy is the legal evidence of your name change and should be kept safely.

7. Update official records:**

After your deed poll is registered, you should update your personal details with relevant government agencies and organisations, such as the Department of Social Welfare, Revenue Commissioners, driving licence office, banks, and employers.

Please note: The process and specific requirements for obtaining a deed of change of name may vary slightly based on your individual circumstances and the county in which you reside. For more accurate and up-to-date information, it is recommended to consult with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or the County Registrar's Office in your area.
