Unenrolled Deed Poll (Name Change) – Legally Document Your New Name

An Unenrolled Deed Poll is a formal but private document that enables an individual in the UK to change their name. Unlike an enrolled deed poll, which is publicly recorded, an unenrolled deed poll is not published in official registers. Nonetheless, it is still widely accepted as evidence of a name change.

A Deed Poll made in Bind includes:

Purpose of the Deed Poll

Confirms that you intend to abandon your old name, adopt your new name, and use it consistently in all aspects of life (e.g., identification documents, financial accounts, utilities, and employment records).

Declaration of Name Change

Explicitly states your old name and the new name you wish to use. You promise to stop using the old name and be known solely by the new name going forward. This section underscores the seriousness and permanence of the name change.

Effective Date and Witnessing

Specifies the date the deed takes effect. You sign the deed poll in the presence of a witness who also provides their signature and contact details, thus validating the document.

Usage and Updating Official Documents

Highlights that you’ll need to present your deed poll to various institutions (e.g., banks, passport office, DVLA) to have your new name accepted on official records. This ensures consistent usage of your new name across all legal and financial documents.

Explains that the deed poll is legally binding despite not being enrolled (i.e., not publicly recorded), granting you privacy while retaining legal validity. Emphasizes that most UK government agencies and private organizations accept an unenrolled deed poll as proof of name change.

Bind streamlines the creation and signature of your Unenrolled Deed Poll, giving you a secure digital solution to formalize your name change without the need for official enrollment.
