While in the past the Public Trustee of Queensland has provided a service by which the public could change their name by Deed Poll the introduction of the Births Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 2003 means that the Public Trustee can no longer provide this service.

From 1 February 2004 people wishing to change their name should contact the Registrar, Births, Deaths and Marriages. Please go to http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/home.htm
