You can a apply for a deed poll, and use your deed poll to change your name. The name change would be your original name on the documentation to the name in which you would to use in the future.

When I was 17, my parents changed my surname from my mother’s maiden name to my father’s (they had been recently married) and the original birth certificate was amended. I have never used the changed surname and all other documentation is in my original name and I would like it reverted. Could you advise how I go about that process please? Thank you.

If you have lost or misplaced your original Deed Poll, then you can apply for a Lost / Replacement Deed Poll via our website. Please go to the ''Apply Now'' page.
A replacement Deed Poll is a legal document that proves that you have changed your name previously and have been using your new name since then.

Anyone over the age of 18 can witness your Deed Poll as long as they know you and are independent of you. 'Independent' means they are not a relative, partner or someone who lives at the same address as you.
