Certified identification (not post office)

Also, some estate agents/surveyors are also solicitors' offices as well, and I can well believe it's easier for them to ensure any process is covered before it spreads into other areas of the business unnoticed.

But, the OP has flounced..... so I doubt we will discover the actualite!

I had to get copies of original documents certified, and I went to a high street solicitor who offered the service, and sent certified copies to several banks, all of whom would not accept the certified copies that I had paid the solicitor for. I had to go back to the solicitor and request specific wording on the copy, name of person, job title, official stamp of the company, and date. This had to be on every page of the document that was copied.


Never send an original document or certificate through the post, as recorded delivery or special delivery post can go missing, and there are cases where people have received someone else's original document back, there will always be human error in any organisation. So you have to get the certified copies exactly right for the organisation you are providing them to, or take the original documents in person for the organisation to copy them and give you back there and then, if they will do that.
