    I remember fondly many moons ago the excitement of someone coming into the office to swear a stat declaration, affidavit or certified copies. Then it was a statutory charge that we the solicitor kept personally It was £5 for a document and £2 for an exhibit ! It was fab to get a few in on a Friday afternoon ! Lol ( and yes haters we declared it to the tax man as it was all logged )

    Now it's all changed ! :( I was charged £75 for a crap identity proof - I couldn't believe it !

    OP - sorry to refinish - keep shopping round for a good price

    £5 is still the going rate for affidavits/oaths/statutory declarations, isn't it? It's certainly what I paid a couple of years ago when I had to do one.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
  • Well you can do it at the post office, though there is a charge of 8.75 (a friend recently used it and said was quite easy)

    My local didn't charge so it's always worth asking
