Is there an official deed poll service?
Our advisors are asked “Who is the official deed poll service?” or “Where is the official Deed Poll office?” on a daily basis. There is a common and somewhat understandable misconception that deed polls are issued by an official government department or agency; and there are a number of shady websites that try to mislead or trick their visitors into thinking that they are indeed the official service.
The truth is that there is no such thing as an official or government-approved deed poll office. Every website offering deed polls is owned by a private company or individual with absolutely no affiliation with or endorsement from the UK government. Therefore don’t be tricked into paying an unnecessarily high price for a online deed poll in the UK. Leading many people to wonder how much is deed poll in the UK?

It is worth noting that in over fourteen years of issuing deed polls, amounting to tens of thousands of documents, we have never had to refund someone under our guarantee.
The Advertising Standards Authority recently upheld two complaints (complaint one and complaint two) against UK Deed Poll Service, one of our competitors, for using the term “official website” on their website, thereby misleading visitors into thinking that they were offering an official government service which is a breach of rules 3.1 and 3.3 of the CAP Code.
Although the Advertising Standards Authority ruled against UK Deed Poll Service and ordered that they may not use the word “official” on their website or in their advertising material, the company continues to do so.
