How does one get a new identity in the UK?

If you want to change your name in the UK, you can do so by applying for a deed poll. A deed poll is a legal document that declares your new name. You can either apply for a deed poll yourself or through a solicitor.

To apply for a deed poll yourself, you will need to:

* Download and complete the application form for a deed poll.

* Pay the application fee.

* Send your application to the Probate Service.

If you are applying for a deed poll through a solicitor, they will:

Once your application has been processed, you will be sent your deed poll. You will need to keep your deed poll in a safe place, as you will need to show it to anyone who asks for proof of your name change.
