What you'll need to update
A name change in Ireland touches multiple government agencies and private institutions. We'll guide you through every one.
Deed Poll
Most Irish people change their name by deed poll — a signed, witnessed legal document. You can prepare one yourself or use a solicitor.
Passport
Update your Irish passport with the Passport Service online or by post. You'll need your deed poll (or marriage cert) and current passport.
Driving Licence
Update your record at the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) — book an appointment at any NDLS centre with your deed poll.
Revenue & PPS
Notify Revenue Commissioners (myAccount) and the Department of Social Protection to update your tax and PPS records.
Bank Accounts
Contact your bank with your deed poll or marriage cert to update your name on all accounts, cards, and standing orders.
Employer, GP & More
Notify your employer, GP, health insurer, utility providers, and any subscription services to complete your update.
