Divorce and name change advice please

[hippysmum]

I am getting divorced and my Solicitor told me not to revert to my maiden name by deed poll as i have the legal right to use it anyway and it would be a waste of money - he said to just use my Birth Certificate as proof - is this correct and has anyone done it? A different solicitor said i needed a Deed poll so I am a little confused.

Thanks

i just printed off a change of name deed format from the internet and sent it to doctors/bank/gas/bt etc cost me printer ink thats all

you need two people to sign as a witness

passport people accepted no problem, perhaps just have it as back up?

No need for deed poll charge. You can call yourself mickey mouse if you like!
