Deed Poll
This is the document you will be given if you decide to legally change your name for a reason other than marriage.
A deed poll (plural: deeds poll) is a legal document binding only to a single person or several persons acting jointly to express an active intention. It is strictly speaking not a contract because it binds only one party and expresses an intention instead of a promise.
