Register Change of Name

The Registry records official changes of name for adults and children under 18 years.

Changes of name can only be registered in NSW for:

  • People born in NSW, or whose birth was registered in NSW
  • Australian citizens who are ordinarily a resident of NSW
  • Permanent residents of Australia who are ordinarily a resident of NSW

The Land Titles Office no longer registers Deed Polls or Instruments Evidencing Change of Name.

If a person alters their name or uses an additional or other name with the intention to act fraudulently or with an intention to deceive or in any other way that contravenes the law, they may be subject to criminal proceedings.
