Hi, I am looking for advice on changing my sons name. His surname is his fathers and was registered in 2002. I know i cannot remove it from his birth certificate but can i change it without his fathers permission? If so how much will this cost? Many Thanks Angie

Hi yes, it is easily done, I did, my daughter was registered in 2003, father did not have PR (thank God!) and I did it through a solicitor, and so it was covered by legal aid as I was on full benefits at the time.
As I remember it was a very quick process, I didn't have to go to court or anything, and her father was not contacted.

Any advice on the best or cheapest deed poll service?

I'm changing my daughter's surname.

india did you want to do it online?

if so you can type deed poll into google and lots come up.

you can get one done on ebay by a retired solicitor - he was very helpful when i looked into this

hope this helps x x

I used The Deed Poll Service to change my name by Deed Poll last year. Not the cheapest around but well worth the extra money after the experience i had trying to use a DIY document that i bought of some internet site. The Deed Poll was accepted by all the gov departments (Passport Office, DVLA, HMRC, Etc) and private companies that i have sent it to.

India, just be aware that this poster * may * (:rolleyes: ) have a connection with "The Deed Poll Service" (given that their only 2 posts have been to advertise this service).

Strapped,

I am in no way connected with the company that i recommended. I am simply still subscribed to the Google Alert service for pages relating to Deed Polls because i was researching the subject when i changed my name.

When i got the email notifying me of this post i thought i would come and offer some advice as i have had experience.

Thanks,

I have read some of the posts here. I would just advicse everyone to use the service that I used last year to change my kids names.

http://www.deedpolllegal.co.uk -

this website is full of upto date info and they are backed up by the UKPA and the DVLA. I had no problems at all.

I think I paid £12.99 but it may have gone up since then.

Like I said , Full of upto date info

I'm sure it's a coincidence that the domain is registered to an ANDREW and - amazing - you're based in Manchester. The above is a LIE ou did not use your own service.

I did mine on-line with The Name Change Co, really quick & best value I found...

I changed all my kids name to my husbands name (not his children) when i got married, they didnt contact their biological father, and my husband didnt have to adopt them.
I did it through a soilicitor who didnt change much and let me pay weekly on a payment card to spred the cost.
