- Change of name deed for a child (Northern Ireland)For a parent or guardian in Northern Ireland changing the name of a child under 18 — after a separation, in a new family or at the child’s wish. Everyone with parental responsibility must agree, or the court must permit it; the deed says which, and a 16- or 17-year-old signs their own consent. It renounces the old name and adopts the new one, printed and signed in ink before two adult witnesses. Enrolment in the Central Office of the High Court in Northern Ireland is optional.
- Change of name deed for an adult (Northern Ireland)For an adult in Northern Ireland changing their first name, surname or both — after marriage, divorce or simply by choice — who needs proof for their bank, employer, HM Passport Office or DVLA. A deed poll you make yourself: it renounces the old name, adopts the new one and is signed in both names, in ink, before two adult witnesses. Enrolling it in the Central Office of the High Court in Northern Ireland is optional, and most people never need to.
- Statutory declaration to confirm facts in writing (Northern Ireland)For anyone in Northern Ireland asked by a bank, employer, DVLA, a pension scheme or another organisation to confirm facts by statutory declaration — a lost document, living together, a name used or a family link. You write the facts in numbered paragraphs; the document adds the words the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 requires. You sign it in person before a solicitor, commissioner for oaths, notary public or justice of the peace; a commissioner’s fee is £5, plus £2 for each exhibit (SR 1993/418).
- Letter confirming that someone lives at your address (UK)For a homeowner, tenant or landlord asked to confirm in writing that a person — a partner, grown-up child, relative or lodger — lives at the address, often for a bank account, a phone contract, a school or a GP registration. The UK has no residence certificate, so organisations ask for bills or statements, and some accept a letter like this; ask them first what they accept. The letter states since when the person has lived there and gives your contact details.
- Invitation letter from a host for a Standard Visitor visa (UK)Start with GOV.UK’s free guidance on the Standard Visitor visa and its guide to supporting documents: they say who can apply and what a visitor may send. This letter is for someone in the UK inviting a relative or friend from abroad. It tells UK Visas and Immigration who you are and your status here, your relationship to the visitor, the dates and purpose of the visit, where they will stay and who pays. The visitor applies and decides what to send. It is your own statement of facts, not advice on the application; no letter guarantees a visa.
