We charge $70/- for preparation of a document for change of name, called a 'Deed Poll', which has to be signed before one of our solicitors.
A minor, a person below 21 years of age, however, requires BOTH parents to sign the Deed Poll on his/her behalf. Both parents have to attend at our office at the same time to sign the deed poll. For cases wherein there is only one surviving parent, please provide us with a copy of the death certificate. For parents who are divorced, we require both of the natural parents of the child to attend at our office at the same time in any event.
We do not advise whether a chosen name is acceptable by the National Registration Department or otherwise.
