Hi Dave & Katy
Me again! LOL (can't keep away!)
When I am not on maternity leave i do IT/Tech support for Magistrates Courts & I know that there are some luvvly people at Southampton Magistrates Court who can arrange to do certified copies. Definatley worth ringing them or calling in to enquire.

On the website (http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/p...es/probfee.htm) it states the following:

(a) for the first copy the fee is £5
(b) for every subsequent copy of the same document if supplied at the same time the fee is £1
(c) where copies of any document are made available on a computer disk or in other electronic form, for each such copy the fee is £3

Their contact details are:

If you're really nice to me (!) and willing to travel to Fareham, I can do them for you. (I'm a solicitor)

Hi,
Not sure where you are in Southampton, but we used a solicitor in Totton who charged us £1 per signature. He was a nice chap. And he could usually see us at short notice. We had about three visits to him for various things. If you pm me I'll give you his number.
Cheers
Claire. x

That is so nice - I was lucky , I got most of mine doe thru' a barrister friend. I'm a nurse so had hundreds of bits of paper to be certified. I also had the last few done at the local magistrates court - £10 the lot.

Dave and Katy- between us - I'd go with the free offer - you'll never get a better one than that

wavy_davy

WOW! Did you really mean free! I had just assumed it would be at a bargain price! I think we are about a week or so away from being ready so I'll be in touch soon!

I think he offered his services for nothing but I could be wrong
Hope not because I gave him karma for being a nice guy, you never know he may now be too embaressed to charge

Actually I'm a she!

I did mean I'd do it for free. I've been through the whole visa process myself so like to feel I can help somebody else. (No sarky comments about solicitors please )I'd be quite happy with a couple of bottles of Aussie Shiraz! Hic!

I knew you were being lovely

Sorry for changing your sex
