what's the best website for a deed poll name change?

[TiredNurse27]

I've just come back off holiday, my LO's passport is expiring so theres no reason not to change his name back to mine now. What's the best route?

I dont have any advice about what website to use, but first you will need the FOBs permission to change LO's surname if he is on the Birth Certificate, Some women on here have used deed poll to change their LOs name, so they should be able to tell you!

I don't need his permission my son was born in 2002 so his dad doesn't automatically get parental responsibility. I just need to fill in the forms and pay the money, but I don't want to get ripped off!

I didnt trut doing it through a website, someone told me it wasnt 100% legal. I got mine done through a solicitor and it didnt take that long. Sorry I couldnt be any more of a help.

I did James's through this site. Its the official Deed Poll site and completely legal and official cos its done through court. https://www.deedpoll.org.uk/

How much did it cost? I did mine for £5 so hope you didn't pay too much

£35, I don't get any discounts. Wish I'd known about a £5 one but it's still worth the extra money!
