Summary
A deed poll is the document people use to change their name. In this template you declare that you give up your former name, adopt your new name, and will use the new name in all records and dealings. Fill in your old and new names and your details, sign before a witness, and have it sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths.
After executing the deed you can use it to update your official records and, if you wish, publish the change. It is a general template and not legal advice.
