Re: UK Police from outside UK
Well cripes! I got a reply back and the photocopies have to be notarized by eiher a lawyer, solicitor or justice of the peace. So I reckon I'll send them my original birth certificate and a gas/elec bill!!! I hate being without my passport whilst I'm over here.
As far as UK cheque is concerned, she answered that the only way would be to get a sterling bank draft.
Back to the drawing board!

Re: UK Police from outside UK
Think I'll follow your advice here Sibsie. I'm sure they will be delighted to help me. 
Especially after I mailed them the other day to tell them they were giving an incorrect answer to my question !!
Good thing I haven't been to post office yet!

can't you just use a public notary? they have the same notorising powers as the rest...don't they?
I got some things notarised through one of the grocery stores here...it cost me $3 a shot, but it was worth it.. look into it...I wouldn't want to sent any originals either!

Hi hopelessinks,
A notary is quite a different beast over here. Someone who has studied law and then gone on to study some more! And he/she loves to charge big $$ for the services! So, we avoid them if possible.
