Before you complete Deed Poll Online

Have your identity documents and intended name ready. Enter names exactly as they appear in your records, and check every spelling, space and ethnic character.

Your particulars

Prepare your NRIC or passport, address and contact details. For a child under 21, have the birth certificate and both parents’ particulars ready.

Your new name

Decide the exact new name before submitting. Explain any differences between your documents. Do not assume that a standard deed suits every name discrepancy.

Special circumstances

Contact us first for one-parent signing, overseas arrangements, or ICA requests for AKA or Right of Entry wording. Read our child-name change guide if only one parent can sign.

Complete your Deed Poll Online application

Open each section and complete the required fields. You can use Save and Continue Later if you need to return to the form. Check your email address carefully so that you receive our confirmation.

After you submit Deed Poll Online

Check your confirmation email, including your junk folder, and follow the appointment instructions. We may contact you for further information before preparing the deed.

1. Check and book

After submitting Deed Poll Online, review your particulars and arrange the appropriate signing appointment. Tell us promptly if you notice a mistake or need to change your instructions.

2. Bring the originals

Adults aged 21 and above sign personally. For a child under 21, both birth parents should ordinarily consent and sign; we must review any exception first. Your child generally need not attend.

Bring the original identity documents and any supporting records requested. We usually release the executed Deed Poll on the day of signing.

Deed Poll Online: common questions

You can submit your instructions online, but you must attend our office to sign in person before a lawyer. Do not treat submitting this form as signing a Deed Poll.

Yes. Use Save and Continue Later at the end of the form and follow the instructions to obtain a resume link. Keep that link private because it gives access to your saved information.

Yes. Choose the under-21 option and provide the child’s and parents’ particulars. If only one parent will sign, contact us with the relevant court order or other supporting documents before arranging an appointment.

ICA requires a Singapore PR to update the name in the current foreign passport before changing the name on the Singapore IC. Check your home country’s requirements and explain any differences between your records.

No. The Deed Poll does not itself update official records. After signing, you must make the relevant applications and notify banks, schools, your employer and other organisations as needed.
