Understanding the Legal Procedure

  • - The Births and Deaths Registration Act, Chapter 309
  • - The Registration of Documents Act, Chapter 81

 Our Comprehensive Name Change Service Includes:

1. Finding a Lawyer

The first step is to find a lawyer well-versed in the legal procedure of changing a name. you do not have to worry about finding one, Our team includes experienced lawyers who will:

  • - Draft a Deed Poll stating the changes you are making and
  • - Guide you through signing the Deed Poll and swearing an Oath or affidavit before an authorized person, i.e a magistrate, a Notary Public, a commissioner for oaths or a justice of the peace.

 2. Registering the Deed Poll

For your Deed Poll to be legally recognized, it must be registered with the government. In Uganda, this registration is done by the Uganda Registration Services Bureau. We handle the entire registration process for you, ensuring everything is properly documented.

3. Gazetting the Deed Poll

After registering your Deed Poll, the next step is to gazette the name change in the Uganda Gazette, published by the Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC). This step notifies the public of your name change and allows for any objections. We manage this process, including:

  • - Submitting the registered Gazette to UPPC.
  • - Paying the necessary gazetting fees.
  • - Providing you with a payment receipt as proof of payment.

Once the Gazette is published, you will be officially recognized by your new name, and the changes can be reflected in your public and private documents.
