Remember you need two lots of each document certified, one for your skills assesment and one for your visa application.

We ended up doing a deal with our solicitor

If you are in the UK and its for your visa then it has to be either a solicitor or a magistrate/jp type person

As far as I know for UK based applications the only official signatories specified are solicitor/notary or JP. Other signatures may be accepted but you run the risk of them being refused and having to get everything redone.
