Deed of change of name
[1] Some organisations, such as government departments issuing passports and driving licences, may not recognise a name change without a deed poll.Compared to some other European countries, for example Germany, a name change in the UK is easy and virtually unrestricted regarding choice.[9] In the Republic of Ireland, a deed poll of change of name (Irish: Athrú Ainm de réir Gníomhais Aonpháirtí) is obtainable from the Central Office of the Four Courts, Dublin at a cost of €30.One is that foreign nationals must also obtain a change of name licence from the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service.Deeds that change a person's first name can be registered by the applicant in the Enrolment Books of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, which is located within the Royal Courts of Justice on Strand, London, and they are usually endorsed "Notwithstanding the decision of Mr Justice Vaisey in re Parrott, Cox v Parrott, the applicant wishes the enrolment to proceed".
