Hi @Anonymous! You can find info and the correct forms for changing the Name on your account here.

 

The text currently says it's for Business customers but the same forms can be used for personal accounts too. There is a piece of work going on to change the language on the forms to avoid confusion but you can use them all the same for now. wink Any problems or questions please ask!

Hi @Anonymous Please be aware that the link to the form shown above just sends you in a loop by to customer services.

It has been reported and still not fixed.

In the interim you can send scanned copies of the documents required (with a covering letter)  by post to

Correspondence Management Team

PO Box 202,Houghton Regis

LU6 9AG

 

Alternatively you can fax copies with a covering letter  to 0870 600 2402

Hi @Anonymous

As the online form is no longer working we are told you now need to go in store to get a form.

Take your marriage certificate or deed poll with you and complete the form in store and they will fax it all off for you.

Note name changes can only be done if it's the same person changing name and not into a different person.

@Martin-O2@MarjoIs there any news on when the link to the form will be fixed?

The thread I linked to showed this was happening at the beginning of December....

Or is it a permanent change to direct everyone through a store?

Either way the link needs updating or fixing... Some people live miles away from a store. slight_frown

Yes that works. I'm using PC so it eventually opens as a Word document.

Love the way it's from the 'wayback archive'.....

Maybe O2 should put that link you found into the Change of Name documentation...

Clever boy...:smileytongue:

I know it does Happy Dance

So that's something else I've fixed inside 5 mins that's been broke for at least 2 months?
