Deed polls
We hold deed polls (change-of-name records) that were registered with the Queensland Supreme Court before 1 February 2004.
What’s online
Only a small amount of the collection is available for viewing online.
- Use ArchivesSearch to search for digitised (scanned) and hardcopy records (to view digitised records, enter your search term on ArchivesSearch, select ‘Item’, and ‘Records with digital objects only’).
- View a selection of photographs from our collection on Flickr.
- Use the Indexes to search lists of our most popular records.
You will most likely need to order a copy of the record you are interested in or visit us in person at Runcorn.
