I need an advice. I need to apply for a Enrolled Deed Poll

Hello and thank you for your question. My name is ***** ***** I will be very pleased to assist you. I'm a practising lawyer in England with over 15 years’ experience. Please be aware that although I will endeavour to reply to you promptly, I am also in full time private practice and so I may not be available to respond immediately and it may also take me a few minutes to prepare a reply. The site will notify you as soon as I respond. I look forward to working with you to answer your question fully.

for the avoidance of doubt, the Russian embassy has advised you that you would need to change your name first here in the UK under the UK jurisdiction. Is that correct please?

thank you. In order to create an enrolled deed poll, you can obtain the necessary documents you need to do so at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-to-change-your-name-forms-loc020-loc021-and-loc025

you will need to complete and swear the deed poll for which you will need to make an appointment with a local solicitor. You will need to advertise the deed poll subsequently in the London Gazette and pay the requisite court fee and advertising fee which totals £42.44 p in all.

Full instructions are included within the above document pack

the forms that need to be completed are contained in this link:

You will need to swear statutory declaration which as above needs to be done in front of the solicitor

there is a statutory swearing fee of 5 pounds that would apply for the swear

you will need two separate witnesses to witness your signature but there is no requirement for those witnesses to have known you for any period of time

I hope the above is of some assistance but if you have any further questions, please revert to me.

unfortunately, I do not have access to your address and therefore cannot answer this question. However, you can easily find the nearest solicitors to you using the following link:

All solicitors also act as Commissioner for oaths

I trust the above was of assistance and that you do not have any follow up questions for now. If there is anything else I can help with please reply back to me though.

I'm glad the above answers all your questions for now. If you have any follow up questions please revert to me.
