Re: Anyone had their stat decs/Quals signed by a policeman?
We had our stat decs,certified copies and all our other important documents signed by my cousin, a superintendent in the NI police. He got his offical stampie things out and we scanned copies of his business card on the backs of all the pages and we had no probs (even better it only cost us some Bushmills whisky for about 80pages). He was also able to officially witness our stat declaration of name change, and apparently has the same legal status as a notary or solicitor in that respect. Just remember to have all contact details and offical stamps done so they can contact them, not that Bob was ever checked up.

Generally, police officers (probably wrongly) don't qualify as legal proffessionals, as they have no formal qualifications in law, and have no right to practice or offer to practice in a legal capacity. Ironically, a Police Sergeant has to have a greater knowledge of criminal law than a Magistrates Clerk, who is. And gets paid much more too!
As to what to do in this situation, well, I'll leave that to your better judgement...

He didn't stamp or anything - just wrote 'this is a true copy of an original' signed and dated then put his home address and mobile number...Suppose we were lucky.
