Change of Name Deed Poll — Digital (Self-Complete)

A change of name deed poll in Ireland is a formal document recording that you have abandoned your former name and adopted a new one. This is a digital, self-complete change-of-name deed poll template for Ireland. You complete it yourself online from a guided questionnaire, and no solicitor review is included at this price. It may suit you if you are confident handling it yourself and want a professionally structured document at the lowest cost.

A deed poll must be signed and witnessed correctly to be accepted by banks, employers and official bodies. Some organisations have their own requirements, so it is worth checking what each one needs before you rely on the deed poll. If your circumstances are unusual, a professionally drafted deed poll may be more suitable.
