Changing your name by deed poll is a common process in the UK, and many people wonder if it can be done multiple times. The good news is that there is no legal limit to how many times you can change your name. Whether it’s for personal preference, cultural reasons, or other motivations, you can update your name as often as needed. Each change simply requires a new deed poll to be signed and witnessed.

Important Considerations

  • Surname Changes: There are no strict limits on changing your surname, but each deed poll must be genuine and not used for fraudulent purposes.
  • Witness Requirements: Each new deed poll must be signed in front of two independent witnesses over 18, who are not related to you and do not live at the same address.
  • Updating Records: After changing your name, you must notify relevant organisations such as banks, HM Passport Office, DVLA, and other institutions. Some may require a certified copy of your deed poll.

How to Change Your Name Again

  1. Prepare a new deed poll with the correct wording.
  2. Sign it in front of two independent witnesses.
  3. Update all relevant records with your new name.
