Deed Poll required for alterations to legally registered names

The Grenadian Ministry of Health has issued an official advisory clarifying procedural requirements for legal name changes. According to the directive, any adult citizen seeking to modify their legally registered name must present a properly executed Deed Poll document that has been formally registered with the Deeds and Land Registry of Grenada.

This authenticated documentation must be submitted to the Births and Deaths Department before authorities can process any amendments to official civil records. The Ministry emphasized that this protocol ensures the maintenance of accurate and lawful civil registration databases while upholding administrative integrity.

The public notice underscores the government’s commitment to maintaining robust civil documentation systems. Officials have requested full public cooperation with these established procedures, which are designed to prevent fraudulent alterations to personal identification records.
