How to request a Deed Poll Online Singapore
- Complete the online form below with your current name, your new name and your particulars.
- Submit the supporting documents online, for example your NRIC, birth certificate or passport.
- Book an appointment for document verification and for signing the deed in our office.
In addition, please check the spelling of the new name carefully, because you would need a fresh deed poll to correct a mistake after execution.
Who can use our deed poll service
- Adults. Any adult who wishes to change a first name, a surname, or the whole name.
- Minors. Parents or a lawful guardian executes the deed poll for a child.
- People correcting a name. For example, where different documents record the name differently.
- People adopting or dropping a religious, dialect or English name.
However, a deed poll does not update your records by itself. After execution, you still need to apply to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority for a new NRIC or passport. In addition, you may need to notify your bank, your employer, CPF, your school and any other institution.
