Daughter's name change.......?
Find answers to your legal question.





Daughter's name change.......?

My daughter is 13 and wants to change her surname from that of my Ex-husbands to incorporate my maiden name which i am going back to - so it would be {her name} [my maiden name ]-present surname.
My ex- husband is fine about this as he knows how much it means to me,but how would i go about doing this in the eyes of the law?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)


    




Uk Deed Poll Advice
Hi,

A deed poll document will enable you to change your daughter's name to incorporate you maiden name and her father's surname. As long as you and your daughter's father are willing to agree to the change and sign the Change of Name Deed there should be no problems with getting all her records updated.

If you are planning to change your daughter's name it is very straightforward and not as complicated as you may think. You can apply for a Deed Poll to get all her records updated to the name for just £38.00. This can be completed online.

A Deed Poll is accepted by all UK Government Departments and organisations, including the passport office.

This site allows you to apply for a Child Deed Poll online, over the phone or by post for just £38:

Once this is complete you can use the Deed Poll to update and inform everyone of your name change. If you need more than one copy of the document, you can also order extra copies for £2 per copy. Once this is complete you can send the deed poll to the passport office to get your daughter's passport changed to reflect her new name.

There is also more information on this site which may be of interest to you.

I hope this has answered your question.

You need to get a solicitor and sign a change of name deed. It will cost though. I don't know how much because I did it in 1991.

It needs to be done by Deed Poll. You could try online but usually needs to be witnessed by a Solicitor. UK

You need to go to the county court house in the county where you reside and get a form for the change, you and your ex husband fill it out, sign it, pay the fee and they will give you a date to go to court, have your ex go with you if possible and the judge will grant it, you do not need an attorney for name change if you are in the US.~
