Update your legal name

To update your legal first or last name for your account in our system, we'll need the following:

  • A photo of the legal name change document as listed below
  • An updated photo ID with your legal name

The following documents are required for the reasons for name changes:

  • Civil partnership dissolution → Final court order
  • Death of partner → Death certificate and marriage certificate
  • Divorce → Divorce decree absolute (in English or professional translation)
  • Marriage or Civil partnership → Marriage Certificate or Civil Partnership Certificate
  • Re-registration of a birth → Amended birth certificate
  • Other name changes → Witnessed deed poll or statutory declaration

When prompted in the app, attach your ID and send us an email, so we can send you a Name Change Authorisation form to digitally complete and sign. A secure file submission link can also be sent for other documents, if needed.
