Certified Copies
I have read some thread re. who can sign the TRA paperwork but can't seem to find the answer to who can sign Statutory Declarations. Is it ONLY a solicitor who can sign them or can a JP or Barrister do it?
I have a friend who a JPs and another who's a Barrister so it would be great to get it all signed by the same person (not to mention it would be FREE too
! ).

Re: Certified Copies
Thanks for replies everyone but this is the advice I received from my Agent re. who can Stat Decs and who can certifiy copies ......
Certifying Documents / Stat Decs
Stat Decs
Statutory Declarations are statements written by you and which have been witnessed and signed by a solicitor.
Certified Documents
Certified Documents are photocopies of original documents that have been signed by an authorised person as ‘True copies of the originals’. Authorised persons in the UK are Solicitors, Notary Publics and Justices of the Peace. People most commonly use high street solicitors to carry out this task for them.
Please do not ask any other person to certify documents for you, such as the police, as they will NOT be accepted by the skills assessing authority
Hope someone else finds this info useful too.

Re: Certified Copies
Karen ... I think different agents must work to different rules. Our certified documents were done by police officer and agent more than happy with them.

Hiya
I think you could be right. The reason I posted the question in the first place is because I've read sooooo many different opinions that it was mind boggling!
I think I'll have to stick to what my agent told me now, although I don't understand why a solicitor can sign the stat decs but a Barrister cannot
Take care
Karen
