Complete Lloyds' change-name form, then visit a branch or send the form and supporting documents by post.
Evidence to prepare
- Original or certified supporting documents appropriate to the reason for the change.
- Old and new signatures.
Evidence rules can differ by product and by the reason for the name change. A deed poll is evidence of a change of name; it does not override a bank's customer-identification requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What is the official source for changing my name with Lloyds Bank?
This guide was checked against Lloyds Bank's own published customer guidance on 2026-09-09. Use the official-source link on this page before submitting documents because bank procedures can change.
Will an unenrolled deed poll always be accepted on its own?
Not necessarily. Banks set their own evidence policies. Some accept an unenrolled deed poll directly, while others require extra ID in the new name or another supporting document.
Should I send an original deed poll by post?
Follow Lloyds Bank's current instructions. Some banks ask for originals, some accept certified copies and some provide a digital upload route. Do not post irreplaceable identity documents unless the bank specifically tells you to.
Need proof of a name change?
You can prepare an unenrolled deed poll yourself for free using GOV.UK guidance. Our paid service is for document preparation and support; individual organisations decide what evidence they will accept.
