    Ive only got one copy - I didnt change my passport or my main current account as they wanted my passport to change it :mad: and I had only just renewed my passport when I changed it.
    However I do have a bank account that I changed and just took the original into branch and they updated there and then. Work was an absolute nightmare though - it took ages to sort as they insisted on re-CRB'ing me :mad:

    Hello galvanizersbaby

    I changed my name in 2009 and got 4 or 5 legal copies which worked out right for me.

    If it's of any help, I used a company called "UK Deed Poll Service" http://www.deedpoll.org.uk/ who provided a very quick and efficient service.

    I second them - very good website and a very good service....

    (they seem to have two links to thier website, the other is http://www.ukdps.co.uk/)

  • Thanks all for your help - I'm using The legal deed poll service which some of you have recommended and am happy with the service so far ;)

    I ordered 5 legal copies plus original so from what's been said that will be more than enough :)
