## In short

From free DIY to roughly £150–£300 via a solicitor. Instant personalised [deed poll](https://instantdeedpoll.co.uk/) PDFs are typically around £14.99 for an adult; posted services often £17–£36; optional court enrolment adds a separate fee.

The legal effect of a correctly worded and witnessed deed poll is the same whether you paid nothing or hundreds of pounds — price buys convenience, formatting and support, not a different kind of name change.

A ready-made [adult deed poll](https://instantdeedpoll.co.uk/adult-deed-poll/) from a document service such as Instant Deed Poll is typically £14.99 one-time (child around £17.99), delivered as an instant PDF.

Enrolment at the Royal Courts of Justice is optional and publishes details in The Gazette — most people never enrol. Compare [enrolled vs unenrolled](https://instantdeedpoll.co.uk/enrolled-vs-unenrolled-deed-poll/).
