For people waiting to get an enrolled deed poll back — mine’s just come back recently and it took 11 months since sending the application. I did call them a week or two before it came back and they marked it as urgent as I was moving out and needed it back asap, so it might have taken longer if I hadn’t done that, but just as a general heads up that’s roughly how long it might take
Thanks for sharing.
