ok i feel like i've asked this before but

does anyone have an extremely clear guide to changing your name on your passport in the UK

all the government site pages seem to go circularly and looking at all the forms is making me feel dizzy and idk what kind of solicitor i'm meant to contact to witness the deed poll or what counts as a close relative for that purpose

update: solved!!!!!!!
@bryn OMG it's Bryn! I missed you didn't know you moved
@cogitoergofemme hello!!!!! i didn't import a following list which made things a lot quieter but also...... i keep finding people i should have followed again ages ago aaa
@bryn absence makes the heart grow fonder
