Solicitors For Changing Your Name
Changing your name in a straightforward situation can often be done without the guidance of a Solicitor. A helpful guide can be found here. This provides all necessary guidance and paperwork required to implement a change of name for both adults and children. It also gives a step-by-step guide on how to action a change of name yourself and what the relevant fees are if enrolled at court.
Change of name deeds for children under 16 can be undertaken if both biological parents (and anyone else with parental responsibility for the child) are prepared to consent to this in writing. Specific advice should be taken from any agency that you need to contact to advise them of a name change as they may have their own specific requirements, for example, some agencies may require that the child’s change of name deed should be enrolled at court. At JCP Solicitors, we can assist with this for £250 + VAT in straightforward cases, and on our hourly rate service for more complex situations.
