Just out of interest if someone changes their name at a solicitor's, would their name appear in the Gazette?
No, although they may have chosen to put an announcement in the local press, I Have one that did just that.
You can change your name without any legal declaration. Provided it is not to defraud etc. You simply notify the banks, the DWP and other people who need to know, that you are going to be known as Joe Bloggs or whatever name you have chosen.
