This is not necessary when the application is only for the change of First name(s).\nA woman does not lose her maiden name when she marries and may resume using her maiden name following any subsequent divorce or the death of her husband without the need to execute a deed poll. Registration of the deed poll in the Public Registry of the Island is only necessary where the deed poll is executed by persons whose names appear in the Register of Contracts or the Register of Procurations or as a defendant in the Register of Obligations.\nMinor Children\nPlease seek legal advice under Article 10 of the Children (Jersey) Law 2000 (available on the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.jerseylaw.je\" \u0014www.jerseylaw.je\u0015\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.jerseylegalinfo.je/\" \\h \u0014)\u0015 or contact Elly Corfe, Family Proceedings Officer, Judicial Greffe.\nAn application on behalf of a minor (i.e. a person aged less than 18) must be made by his parent or legal guardian.  The deed poll in respect of which such application is made shall be signed by the parent or legal guardian on behalf the minor.  If the minor has attained the age of 14 the deed poll must also be signed by the minor in both his old and new names.\nIf the application on behalf of a minor is made by one parent only, the written consent of the other parent, if living, must be obtained and endorsed on the deed poll, unless good cause is shown to the contrary (supported by affidavit).\nIf the minor is illegitimate, the applicant is the mother only.\nIf the parents were married at the time of birth or are still married now – the husband’s permission needs to be endorsed on the deed poll.\nAll applications for a deed poll for a minor child where only one parent/guardian is mentioned, need to be checked with the Family Division of the Royal Court to ascertain whether there is any parental responsibility order in place.  If so, then the deed poll cannot be processed without the permission of other parent/guardian.  This is also true if the child is in the care of the Minister for Health and Social Services, permission will then be needed from the Minister.\nFrom 2nd December 2016 if an unmarried father gains parental responsibility if he becomes registered as the child’s father on the birth certificate (this does not apply if the registration took place before the 2nd December 2016).\nFOR THE CHANGING OF A NAME FOR A MINOR\nPLEASE SEEK LEGAL ADVICE DUE TO THE CHILDREN (JERSEY) LAW 2002\nSigning\nThe deed poll in respect of which application is made shall be signed IN FULL by the applicant in both his/her OLD and NEW names.  Such signature shall be witnessed by an Advocate or Solicitor of the Royal Court or by a Notary Public.  The signature of a minor of the age of 14 must also be witnessed.\nContents of deed poll\nThe deed poll in respect of which the application is made must state:-\nthe full names of the applicant both as regards the OLD and NEW names;\nthe date and place of birth of the applicant;\nthe ordinary residence of the applicant;\nthe nationality of the applicant at birth;\nwhere an applicant is married, the date and place of the marriage, and, if the marriage has been dissolved, the date of the decree absolute and the name of the Court in which it was granted.\nIf the application is made by a woman, she must describe herself in the deed poll as “spinster”, “wife of”, “widow of” or “former wife of” as the case may be.\nIf the application is made on behalf of a minor, paragraphs (1) to (4), above, shall also apply to the minor on whose behalf the application is being made.\nPubli","cbCaii4OSjIBLOcj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii4OSjIBLOcj","docx",61421,20,"English","# General information\n## Married person\n## Minor children\n## For the changing of a name for a minor\n## Signing\n## Contents of deed poll\n## Public Registry\n## Documents required for registration\n## Contact and disclaimer","[{\"question\":\"Who can apply for registration of a deed poll in Jersey?\",\"answer\":\"Any person of full age (18) who is ordinarily resident in Jersey may make an application.\"},{\"question\":\"What consent is required when the applicant is married?\",\"answer\":\"The spouse’s written consent must be endorsed on the deed poll unless good cause is shown, supported by affidavit; consent may not be necessary for changes of first names only.\"},{\"question\":\"What extra requirements apply when the deed poll involves a minor under 18?\",\"answer\":\"The application must be made by the parent or legal guardian, with the deed poll signed for the minor.
