Name Change

Hiya not completely sure this is the right place but this was the closest I thought :o

I took my husbands surname when we got married and we have decided to double barrel our names now (I REALLY miss mine) I found this website when I was looking to see if it could be done online and would like to know if it is legit.

    A solicitor/commissioner for oaths will then charge you £5 to witness it.

    I changed my name in the Family Court. It was about 15 years ago now but it only cost me £8.00. I had to do a Statutory Name Change, filled in the paperwork there, they typed it up and then I had to go into court, swear on the bible that I wished to use my name for legitimate purposes only etc and that was it! Name changed - much cheaper than getting married!
