Summary

A poll deed for name change (commonly called a deed poll) is a legal document you sign to formally declare that you have abandoned your old name and adopted a new one. Unlike a contract (which involves two or more parties), a deed poll is unilateral - it is made by you alone and binds only you.

This is the standard Kenyan deed poll format. Depending on whether the applicant is:

1.Married woman
Husband’s written consent is also required.
2. Minor
Needs parental/guardian consent.
3. Divorced/Widow/Separated
Must attach supporting certificate (marriage, divorce decree, or death certificate).
