Legal means by which a person can change their name (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deed poll

(Other definitions for deed poll that I've seen before include "Legal document used in changing one's name" , "for change of calling?" , "Means of changing name" , "Legal document by which a person may change his or her name" , "I confirm new designation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
