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.
@renbymon yeah there's some fuckery going on there. can you challenge that decision?
@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.
@renbymon yeah good idea.
