[Organisation name]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to notify you that I have changed my name by statutory deed poll. Please update your records accordingly.

Previous name: [Your previous name]
New name: [Your new name]

My address remains:
[Your address]
[Postcode]

I enclose a copy of my deed poll certificate as evidence of the change. Please confirm once my records have been updated, and let me know if you require any further information.

Yours faithfully,

[Your new name]

This generator produces a general notification letter. Some organisations (for example HM Passport Office and the DVLA) use their own application forms instead of a letter. See our name-change checklist for which route each organisation needs. DeedPoll.online is an independent private UK service, not affiliated with HM Government.
