Certified Copy of Passport

littleacceb

Hello, all. I'm filling out a life insurance application and need to have a copy of my passport certified. My husband is a chartered accountant - is he forbidden from signing it because he is my husband?

Why not just send it and cross any bridge that might follow?

Or to ensure no bridges turn up, ask them first! (Companies make up their own rules on who is acceptable to certify documents)

Most companies will not let a relative sign it.

Check with the insurer in question. My wife was allowed to witness one of my documents even though she is both a relative and beneficiary of the policy. Another wouldnt accept her on either count let alone both

Are they asking you to make the copy ?
It is a crown copyright document, some institutions have licences to make copies, they are not given to the general public, they should not be asking you to break the law.

You don't get what certified copys are, they are countersigned copys of original docs and yes you can do this

Nonsense. The government requires financial (and other) businesses to evidence that a person is who they say they are.

Are you seriously suggesting it would prosecute people for complying with the Law?
