is not the money for solicitor mateCasa wrote:A birth certificate won't save you from submitting a certified copy of your passport. Why don't you spend a few pounds and have it legally certified to avoid losing £1,000+ and a failed application?
it is the time having to wait ... my plan was to start the application by Wednesday.
Now cos of this it be next week

I was 90% sure cos of what I read on GOV website that doc can be certified by Banks too.,
and never come to mind having to get it certified by my Solicitor.
By all means, I paid £150 for a bloody Statutory Declaration which is not even considered by my government back home, and the stamp sealed by UK states that "this is not to be used for UK" < so wasted money.
