I have a Deed Poll I was shocked to order it one day at 6pm and recieve it the next by royal mail special delivery....name changed lol
Might be a silly question but, why not just get married?
Getting the deed poll would be much easier ~ you can then have the name on your passport & driving licence.

I did it 11 years ago following my divorce. 2 years ago I got married and didn't have to go through the hassle of changing everything again!
You can change your name by Deed Poll by visiting http://www.deedpollservice.com. At the time of posting this reply the cost of an adult Deed Poll is �25.

As for using the title Mrs instead of Miss, you can do that without going through any procedure at all. The use of titles such as Mrs, Miss, Ms and Mr are purely cultural in the UK and therefore you can use whichever one you like.

To change your title you should add something like "Following my change of name by Deed Poll i have also decided to change my title from Miss to Mrs." to the covering letter that you send along with your Deed Poll to the organisations that you are informing.
