The Post Office. Yes.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

There is another thread on here regarding this...

You an get the first page certified by a solicitor or law firm - They charged me £10 and if you photocopy all the other passport pages, as long as you staple the certified page to the other 24 pages you can submit.
If you don't staple it then yes you will have to certify every page.

why do you need all pages to be CERTIFIED ?

if its for FLRm guidance note says
From 28 October 2013, if you are making your application by post you can send a complete and full copy of your partner’s current passport or travel document with your application. Every page of the passport must be copied including any blank pages. The copy does not need to be certified; your partner must sign the declaration at section 14 of the application form to confirm it is a complete and true copy of their current passport or travel document.

thank you SAMISPOUSAL,after reading the guidance there is no need to certified copy of your passport at all

but since i already certified copy of my passport on the post office there any harm to send it instead of just the copies of my passport ?
also I couldn't understand the last part of the guidance it says:
Make sure passports or travel documents are signed
