Deed Poll wording

[Bkholfy]

Hi all,

Could someone please share the exact wording of Deed Poll for people who have become British via Naturalisation route?

Every template I have seen online contained a line “a British citizen under Section 37(1) of the British Nationatily Act 1981”. From a few websites I gathered that this only relates to people who were born British.

Thanks in advance!

Also see The Enrolment of Deeds (Change of Name) Regulations 1994.

The line about Section 37(1) needs to be retained as it appertains to Commonwealth citizenship (including any form of British nationality), which is required in order to execute a deed poll.

If you were naturalised as a British citizen, the relevant section would be Section 6(2) if you were naturalised as the spouse of a British citizen and Section 6(1) otherwise.

Perfect, thank you secret.simon!
