I've already changed my name once.
Is it still possible to do it again through a deed pool?

Yes, absolutely. There is no limit at all. Lots of people change their name again for all sorts of reasons. A friend of mine did it twice and said the second time was smoother because they used the a service (UK Deed Poll Office if it matters), which made everything feel far less stressful and much more organised.

You can change your name as often as you like as long as it's not for fraudulent purposes.

Btw there is no 'deed poll office', it's just a website charging money for something you can do yourself. You can write your own statutory declaration, perfectly legal.

There is absolutely no need to use a deed poll "service". They add no value at all. Often they give the impression that they are an official body, when there is no such thing.

You can get all the resources you need from this link: https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll

It does not need to be enrolled.

Change your name by deed poll

A deed poll recognises a change of name of an adult or child - make your own, use official forms, or get one through a specialist agency or solicitor.

I did after dh died (was waiting for his parents to die to do it then he died first) I made a deed poll up and changed my driving licence first. When I applied for my first passport it took 9 days to arrive with no queries.
