What is Executing a Deed Poll?

Once a Deed Poll is drafted, that is prepared, it needs to be executed. This simply means that the Deed Poll needs to be signed in the presence of a witness and dated. The witness also needs to sign and date the Deed Poll to confirm that you have sign the Deed Poll document in their presence.

Once the Deed Poll has been executed, i.e. is signed and dated, it is ready for use.  The executed Deed Poll document officially commits you to:

  • Renouncing and abandoning the use of your former name
  • Using your new name at all times, as your proper name
  • Requiring that everybody addresses you by your new name
