Deed poll dual citezenship

Post by Em_il » Sun Feb 11, 2024 8:51 pm

Hello dear friends.
Im wondering if someone could guide me a bit as i am lost with the information provided on different website without firm answer.

Im a dual citizen but planing to change my last name.As i understood i should change it first on another citezenship before British one.But then questions arise.
If i change it on my other citezenship(passport ) do i need still to aply to deed poll or thats already enough evidence and i can proceed online just by getting new British passport and put new details?
Also what will happen with my UK citezenship certificate? Do i need to update it also?

thank you very much🤍

Deed poll is probably needed to change the British passport. The citizenship certificate can remain the same, you will just need to supply the deed poll with it once you change your name.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

You would need to talk to HMPO to find out what they accept. Certainly deed poll is not a problem.
Also what will happen with my UK citezenship certificate? Do i need to update it also? Naturalisation certificates are never updated (unless there's an error).

thank you very much🤍

This is an HMPO caseworker policy on changing names by applicants and evidence they require:

I have not reviewed this but you may be able to get a better understanding.

Thanks mate.It is an easy process to change name or last name im my country of origin.
Probably i will just still apply for deed poll.Can you advice me which one is the best for deed poll as there are many websites with it.
Also thanks regarding naturalisation certificate.Glad that it is not changeable and i dont need to pay there extra too.

Refer to: https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll and for forms: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... and-loc025

I would advise against picking a deed poll service from a web search. Many if not most of those are just people filling in the form(s) for an extortionate additional fee.

Look at the official government link above and understand the process. I understand you can do it yourself. Not an expert on this but just like for naturalisation you don't legal advisors or services to apply on your behalf.
