Employers should only accept identity documents (ID) with differing names where the candidate can provide supporting documentary evidence of their name change.

For example, documentary evidence might include:

  • a marriage or civil partnership certificate
  • a decree absolute / civil partnership dissolution certificate
  • a deed poll certificate
  • a recognition certificate
  • a statutory declaration

If the candidate cannot provide sufficient proof of their change of name, the Recruiting Manager will need to contact the NHS England (NHSE) Human Resources and Organisation Development (HR and OD) team.
