    The only company directors i know are my dad and uncle! My old bosses would of done it but that would be weird if i had to go back and ask them to do that after they just made me redundant!!

    GP's tend to charge for it, which is disgraceful IMO.

    Teachers can do it Ollie if you know any - that's who we used.

    Just changed docs F blockdude and i havnt even met them yet!! Plus i hear they charge!! Just forked out 8 quid for just me an Erikas photos and we still have to go and get some for Daisy at a chemist or something like that!! Plus that to amount 3 passports are going to cost me, add to that i am a job less loser, and Erika finds out if she is also redundant next week, i dont need to cost hassle!!

    Dilemas !!!

    If you have a Bank account get them to sign it. They will of course need to check your signatures / ID. They don't charge.

    I remember being asked to sign a friends divorce papers.

    He told me his wife wanted me to sign it as I was the only one with a "respectable" job title and she didn't want "carpet fitter" (MOG knows who I mean) or similar on her divorce papers.

    She was nuts, mind.

    You might want to check - if the new photo looks like the old photo then they will accept it without a countersignature.

    I've just signed one for someone BUT whoever does it get them to be VERY careful not to go outside the box with it or you'll get it rejected. It's a bit of joke really with renewals that they are gettgin so flipping fussy.
