If you submitted your signed Deed Poll to us for preservation as part of our Legal Copy and Archive Service, we can supply extra legal copies from our archives. The price includes two legitimate copies, and if you require more copies, they may be purchased.
Please be informed that a search of our records and archives will cost the reasonable sum you pay. If your Deed Poll is already in our database, the search fee is waived; the remaining fee goes toward the cost of your transaction. If your Deed Poll is not recorded in our archives, you can request a replacement; in that case, the whole sum of the money you paid will go toward the price of the Deed poll archive service. If you do not require a replacement Deed Poll, we will return the amount you paid in excess of the search fee.
Legal copies of a Deed Poll may be obtained from our archives only by the person(s) named on the Deed Poll
A child who is currently at least 16 years old and who is listed on a Deed Poll may request legal copies of the document. If you utilize our Legal Copy, you will get the original Deed Poll document as well as the number of legal copies you requested on your application form. You can use legal copies also known as certified copies to transmit your original Deed Poll paperwork to businesses, organizations, or governmental bodies that won't accept a photocopy of your Deed Poll such as the Passport Office, the DVLA, financial institutions, etc.. You can avoid damage or loss to the original Deed Poll document while it is in your custody or while being handled by the several institutions you need to send it to by sending record holders a legal copy of your Deed Poll document. 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 Deed poll archive service before forwarding it to a different record holder.
