How much does a deed poll cost in the UK?

In short: An unenrolled deed poll can be free if you use GOV.UK's DIY wording. Paid preparation services charge for help with the document. Court enrolment, replacement passports, printing and postage are separate costs.
Content updated:
Start by checking whether you need a deed at all: a marriage or civil partnership certificate can support some changes. If you do, GOV.UK provides free adult unenrolled wording.
For a guided paid option, check Instant Deed Poll's current price and pack contents*. Money Guide and Instant Deed Poll share the same operator. Check what is included, correction and refund terms, and any optional extras.
Paying for a document does not enrol it with the court or automatically update your accounts. Check each organisation's evidence requirements and arrange suitable witnesses. Seek advice before a disputed child-name change or an overseas-document problem.
