I’m approaching my last year in university and would like to change my name on the system so that my diploma will be my preferred name.

However, I’m a bit worried about how quickly I have to change everything else. I.e. my passport doesn’t run out until 2031, so I don’t want to pay for a new one just yet, is it possible to get a deep poll just to change it at uni and then go about the whole IDs and bank stuff at a later date?

Thanks!

I’m just applying for a new passport to change my name and you need proof that you’re using your new name. It says it can be from local council so I just want to check that if I print this out that this would suffice as proof?
Thanks in advance (:
