Register a name change

If you have changed your name then please let us know so that we have the right information registered on your shareholding.

Before you begin this process, please note:

  • You do not need to send us Santander Nominee Service statements as these do not need to be updated with new name details
  • We are unable to update holdings on the CREST system, operated by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited. Please contact your CREST sponsor so they can arrange for your details to be updated.

How to tell us

Please send your written request to us at:

Santander Nominee Service
Aspect House
Spencer Road

West Sussex
BN99 6DA
UK

We will deal with your request within 5 business days from receipt.

Please ensure that the following details are provided:

  • Current and previous name of shareholder
  • Signature of the shareholder (original not photocopied) or, if a corporate shareholder, a signature from the authorised corporate signatory; stating the capacity in which they sign (such as: Director, Secretary or authorised signatory)
  • The Shareholder Reference(s) of the shareholding(s) (this/these can be found at the top of any correspondence from us)
  • If you have moved, or are going to move, details of your old and new address.
