What Is a Deed Poll?

A Deed Poll is a formal legal document executed by an individual to declare their intention to adopt a new name. It is a unilateral declaration and must be signed in the presence of a lawyer to be legally valid in Singapore.

This document allows the individual to update their name across various official records, including the Identity Card (NRIC), passport, bank records, and more. It cannot, however, be used to change a person’s religion, race, or gender.

Who Can Use Our Deed Poll Service?

Our Deed Poll services are available to:

  • Adults (aged 21 and above): You may execute a Deed Poll on your own behalf.
  • Minors (under 21 years old): A parent or legal guardian must execute the Deed Poll. The child must typically not object to the change, and both parents’ consent may be required in certain situations.
