Wording on certified copies?

[Petra & Dave]

Hi all

We are currently putting together the paperwork for the TRA assessment. My friend is a policewoman and has agreed to certify the copies of the documents in return for me cooking her dinner. This is great as it is going to save us a bit of money.

However what does she need to do to certify them? Does she write on each one that this is a true copy of the original and then sign her name?

Some advice would be great.

Many thanks

Petra

Hi, If I remember rightly it goes something like this :-

your name of your address do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows:-

whatever you are declaring

to finish of

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the Statutory Declaration Act 1835

Declared at (place)

this (day) date of (month) (year)

Before me
and your policelady friend details , given

i.e. her name and job title and date


..


Good luck

I also took mine to the magistrates court, they didnt charge and had a stamp whioch said certified as a true copy

Check that you can get a policewoman to sign thm though, I was told by my agents that it has to be a JP or a notary solicitor. Would have been easier if it could have been a policeman, as my brother in law is one!!!!

oh forgot to say, i didnt have to make an appointmnet at the magistrates just had to turn up half n hour before court started then spoke to an Usher who took me through to the magistrates chambers, the usher was great he let my 5 year old sit in the judges chairs and told him everythi9ng that went on in court!

Hi

we have just got all our docs certified and was told by our agent a policeman/woman cant sign has to be a solicitor or a judge, took our papers to the solicitors we used for our house buy and they did the lot for £10 there was about 50 sheets that needed cert. Stat Decs were £5 per stat dec so the cost wasnt that bad they had a stamp and stamped each page and signed.........just check that the police can sign them first as im not sure thay can......Good luck TRA docs wernt fun to get and this is just the begining OMG!
Agent has got me copying more docs that are needed for the visa app ie birth certs marriage certs family passports and these need cert copied, my solicitor is gonna luv this again, you watch the price go up to £10 per page lol
