How many Witnesses are Needed for any Deed Poll

A deed poll requires the presence of two trustworthy witnesses. Once your witnesses have been chosen, have them sign your deed poll with a black ink pen. To make sure your witnesses understand what they are signing, it's a good idea to have them read your deed poll before they sign.

Our staff is here to support you with any queries you may have.  After everything has been written, assembled, and printed, a Deed Poll needs to be completed.  All that is required is for the Deed Poll to be witnessed, dated, and signed.

The witness must sign and date the deed poll document in order to confirm that you have truly completed it in their presence. Once the Signing and witnessing deed poll is finished, signed, and dated, you formally agree to giving up and renouncing the use of your prior name, to always using your new name as your genuine name, and to having everyone refer to you only by your new name.

If you have any questions about your deed poll witnesses, please contact us

Once a Deed Poll is finished, you can have your new name reflected in all of your records.  The information from the bank account, passport, and driver's license is contained in these documents.  All businesses and government authorities require you to update your name information. Our official Deed Poll is a contract that is enforceable by law. After completing the Deed Poll and making the required record-keeping adjustments, you should keep it safely stored with your birth certificates.  You could produce them all at once if you ever needed to prove that your name has changed from what is on your birth certificate.  We therefore suggest that you obtain our certified corporate validation stamped premium paper Deed Poll.
