If you wish to change your child’s name, you will need the written consent of all of those with parental responsibility. This will always include the child’s mother and in most cases, the child’s father. Please refer to our Parental Responsibility section for more information.
Parents may wish to change their child’s name due to various reasons.
Provided that all the people that need to give consent have done so a change of name deed can be prepared. Everyone with parental responsibility for the child needs to sign the deed and their signatures need to be witnessed.
