NameSwitch

In general, if you are taking a partners name after marriage it is not necessary to change your name officially by deed poll. A deed poll is a legal document that proves a change of name. It is generally used when people want to change any part, add or remove names and hyphens, or spelling.

No. Our smart automation will populate your personalised letters, forms and instructions ready for download. It’s then over to you to sign & send on to the companies, in whichever order makes sense to you. The time it takes to affect the name change depends on the individual company and sometimes the season – IE passports will take longer during the summer months.

Yes ! NameSwitch allows you to set an ''''effective date'''' in the future. Ideal for the super organised who wants everything set to go straight after D Day ! PLEASE NOTE that companies will need to receive official documentation i.e. Marriage Certificate/Decree Absolute/Deed Poll to affect the name change

eGift Cards can be redeemed up to 12 months after the purchase date - should you need it for longer we will be happy to assist.

Yes of course! Many gay couples choose to combine their names after marriage to become double-barrelled - some create a totally new name that is personal to them and their heritage. This will normally require a deed poll change in the first instance. Both parties then will need to notify companies and government bodies of their change in name - NameSwitch is ready and waiting to help.
