Our offices across Guisborough, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Stokesley have experienced Change of Name Deed Solicitors, vastly experienced in completing all forms and guiding people through the process.
Our Change of Name Deeds Solicitors support people across Teesside who are looking to formally change their name.
People change their names for many different reasons. While adults aren't legally required to undergo a formal process to use a new name, obtaining official documents such as a passport or driving licence typically requires a change of name deed. Our Change of Name Deeds Solicitors can guide you through this process from start to finish.
We prepare a deed containing legal declarations about adopting a new name and abandoning the previous one. This document serves as evidence of the change, and you may optionally enrol it on public record.
For children, the process differs significantly. All people with parental responsibility must consent to a child's change of name. Without universal agreement, parents must petition the court, which will only approve a change if it is deemed to be in the child's best interests. A court order then provides documentation of any approved name change. Our Change of Name Deeds Solicitors regularly assist parents through this part of the process too.
