@Beckydog @garrwolfdog seconded!!

@andrew @jihyn Unfortunately my bank needs my passport updated first, lol.

My work have accepted my deed poll without question but they don't send out paper payslips anymore so it seems like council letter is the only option now. :s

@jihyn I'm really hoping that I don't have to do that; I don't have the time to go out and do that because the council isn't following the law. X)

@PsyChuan They asked for an "official" one. I sent them a reply asking them to 1) clarify what they actually want because there's no such thing as an official deed poll and 2) to update their website and communications because everything just says "deed poll" which I would assume means unenrolled, as they have to tell you if they need an enrolled one.

Not impressed with my council as the unenrolled deed poll that I sent them is, according to them, not "official".

The UK doesn't have "official" deed polls: deed polls are just signed affidavits and you don't need to do anything other than have it written in a specific way and be signed by two witnesses.

There are Enrolled deed polls but those aren't "more legal" than unenrolled ones. My deed poll was legal and official the second we (witnesses and I) signed it.

@garrwolfdog Yes please! From what I have looked at it's mainly just getting the money together for going private unless I DIY. My GP is pretty supportive and has said he'll help with things if I do go private. ^^

Right now I'm in the process of name changing and waiting for the council to process the change and send me a council tax statement before I can get my passport sorted. :)

@garrwolfdog Probably not going to do surgery because of fears, but definitely want to get my face lasered and get on HRT as soon as possible. ^^
