Change of name deed for a minor

You can easily change the name of your child using this document, provided that you have parental responsibility for that child. Note, however, that you cannot use this document if there is more than one other person with parental responsibility for the child, or if there is only one other person with parental responsibility for the child but that person does not consent to the name change. This document is only suitable for minors (i.e. under the age of 18) and British citizens. If your child is aged 16 or over, he or she will also need to give consent to the change of name by signing in both his/her new and old name. Please note that it is only suitable for use in England & Wales.
