When this service may be useful
- You want a clear record of a change of name.
- Different organisations hold inconsistent versions of your name or personal details.
- You need to understand what supporting documents an organisation may request.
What you can expect
We focus on the specific legal task you want completed. We review the available information, identify any important date, clarify the outcome you are seeking and then confirm the proposed work before substantive time is incurred.
- Appropriate draft personal document
- Practical execution guidance
- Notification checklist
- Signposting for witnessing or certification where needed
How it works
- Send the essentials: a concise summary, the key document and any deadline.
- Suitability check: we assess whether the requested task falls within our lawful and professional scope.
- Scope and price: we confirm what is included, important exclusions, who will undertake or supervise the work and the fee or charging basis.
- Advice or drafting: we complete the agreed work and explain the practical next step.
- Referral where required: if reserved, separately regulated or specialist work is needed, we explain that clearly rather than extending the service beyond its proper scope.
Guide fees for this service
These guide prices apply to clearly defined work of ordinary complexity. Before substantive work begins, we confirm the task, the person providing or supervising it and the price or charging basis in writing. Consumer prices are shown inclusive of VAT where VAT applies.
| Deed poll / straightforward personal document | £100–£175 |
| Supporting letter or document review | from £150 |
Urgency, unusually large document volumes, additional conferences or work outside the agreed scope may require a revised quote. We will normally agree that with you before carrying out the additional work.
Scope and regulatory limits
Phrasing Legal does not administer oaths or provide notarial services through Phrasing Ltd. Some organisations, overseas authorities or transactions may require a notary, a solicitor acting in a specifically authorised capacity, or another prescribed form of authentication.
Whether an activity is reserved or separately regulated depends on the substance of the work, not merely the name used for the service. We therefore assess the requested task before accepting instructions.
