Legal document formalising a change of name, eg (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deed poll

(Other definitions for deed poll that I've seen before include "By which legal names are changed?" , "Legal document used in changing one's name" , "for change of calling?" , "Legal action by one person, to change their name perhaps" , "means to change name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
