Characters we can print on our Deed Poll documents

We will only print Latin characters on your Deed Poll document. However, we can print modified Latin characters that include the following accents and marks: acute, grave, circumflex, tilde, diaeresis (umlaut), cedilla, macron, ogonek, caron and a dot. To see a list of all characters we can print on your Deed Poll document (and instructions about how to enter them on your application form), please click here.

Note: You may find that some record holders’ computer systems will be unable to show your name correctly if it includes modified Latin characters.
