    Our guarantee is subject to the exceptions mentioned in section number five below.

     

    5.     Exceptions to our guarantee

    "Record holder" means a public department, company or organisation. Our guarantee does not apply if:

    • Your deed poll was incorrectly completed and/or signed and/or witnessed.
    • Your Deed Poll is not accepted by a non UK record holder, such as foreign embassies and consulates.
    • You are changing Your name to give the appearance that You hold a title which you do not hold.
    • You are a foreign national.
    • your Deed Poll is not accepted because the record holder's parental consent requirements have not been met.
    • If a record holder requires other documentary evidence that proves that your name has been changed for "all purposes", for example, some banks and the General Medical Council might request to see your passport in your new name before they are able to recognise your new name. Also, The Passport Office might request evidence which shows that you are using your new name for all purposes by sending them further documents in your new name.
    • The record holder decides that Your new name breaches their inappropriate or temporary name change policy.
    • If you are a dual national, and the Passport Office has rejected your application because you have not changed your other passport yet.
    • If You have any doubt to whether Your deed poll would be covered by Our guarantee, then You should contact Us before purchase.
