Basically I'm wondering if there's any way to check if someone's name has been changed by Deedpoll? A child has come into my care and I was informed her surname had been legally changed, but I now have reason to believe that's not the case as child benefit have her birth bame, and so I'm very confused! She doesn't have a passport or bank account, and I cannot find any evidence of a legal name change, so when I go to apply for her passport should I just use her original name on the birth certificate as I have no evidence of a change? Or do I need to find out wether or not it was ever changed? Her mum has passed away so asking her wether or not she changed it is not an option
