Your rights upon adoption
A child who has been adopted does not need to execute a Deed Poll to change their surname since the adoption certificate provides the necessary documentary evidence that the child's name has changed to that of the adopted family's surname. All government departments, companies and organisations etc will change their records to show the new surname upon presentation of the adoption certificate.
