What evidence do you need to provide?

For security, you will need to write to us to change your name. The evidence we need depends on why you are changing your name. You need to send us either the original document or a certified copy.

Although you can’t update your name online, you can complete and print out the form you’ll need.

Log in or register for Online Services on a desktop or laptop computer. From the menu at the top of the page, select ‘Your profile’, ‘Change your contact details’, and then ‘Change name’.
