If you submitted your signed Deed Poll for preservation as part of our Legal Copy and Archive Service, we can supply extra legal copies from our archives. You can request a replacement if your Deed Poll is not included in our archives; in that instance, the full amount of your payment will be applied to the cost of the replacement Deed Poll.
Only the person(s)
identified on a Deed Poll may request legal copies of a Deed Poll from our
archives. A child listed on a Deed Poll who is currently at least 16 years old
may ask for legal copies of the document.
You will receive the
original Deed Poll document and the number of legal copies you requested on
your application form if you use our Legal Copy. Legal copies in the Deed poll archive
service can be used to send your original Deed Poll documents to
institutions like the Passport Office and financial institutions that won't
accept a photocopy of your Deed Poll. By sending record holders a legal copy of
your Deed Poll document, you can prevent damage or loss to the original Deed
Poll document while it is in your care or while being handled by the many
institutions you need to send it to. Additionally,
you can notify several record holders of your name change simultaneously using
legal copies instead of needing to wait for each record holder to give you
their original Deed Poll before forwarding it to a different record holder. Please
be advised that the legal copies we provide are not additional copies of the
Deed Poll documents we first mailed to you.
