Name changes after a church wedding or blessing — deed-poll advice corrected
Corrected earlier wording that said every double-barrelled surname needs a deed poll, and removed claims that paid deed-poll documents guarantee acceptance. The guide now explains when a marriage certificate is normally sufficient, when a blessing is not evidence of marriage, and the free GOV.UK route alongside optional paid services.
