Change of Name

A Deed Poll is an official document one will need to declare a change of name.

In Singapore, the deed poll is recognised by all official government departments, companies and organisations, and it will therefore allow you to change your name on your NRIC, passport, bank accounts and other official documents (though certain documents cannot be changed, such as the birth certificates).

The deed poll will be signed sealed and delivered by the person intending to change his name. In the case of a minor (child) (under 21 years old), this declaration via deed poll is made on the minor’s behalf by one or both of the parents.
