A deed poll is a kind of legal document that proves that you've changed your name .
Deed polls are used in the UK, Ireland, and some other Commonwealth countries.
In the UK, there is no central identity database, and so changing your name is just a matter of adopting the new name. However government agencies such as the passport office and DVLA will need to see a deed poll as proof.
A deed poll is also called a change of name deed or a deed of change of name - these are interchangeable terms for the same document.
