Proof I am alive .

Karhut

Hello,
I need to prove I am alive ,never had to do such thing before, how do I do that?

I need some official to see me in person to make sure I am alive, do I need a solicitor or do I have other options?
Thanks for any advice.

Might help if you expand on who needs this and what evidence have they asked for so we can help advise

I would ask the people who have told you that you need to prove you're alive to them exactly what is acceptable to them.

Who has requested this and what have they asked for. Its no good turning up with your birth certificate, if they want you to turn up with photographic evidence (passport etc).
You need to ask the requester what they require.

Oh, a solicitor , not in UK . I got letter last week asking proof that  I am alive
My uncle has died .

Well, the response is still the same., ask them what they will accept as proof.

It may be that this is just the local equivalent of verifying your ID and that a certified copy of a current valid photo id and proof of address is suitable, but ask them what specifcally they require

Presumably you are in line for an inheritance so they need proof that you did not pre- decease your uncle which would mean your inheritance would go to someone else. As others have said ask what proof they would accept. It is likely that they may require a declaration from a UK solicitor that you are who you say you are and are indeed still breathing.

She said I could go to the Embassy ( in London) with a current passport in person or presumably a solicitor locally, it’s to do with inheritance as uncle had no children.
Not keen on seeing a solicitor .
So perhaps no option expect to say sorry I am dead .

What’s the problem with seeing a local solicitor? 🤷🏻‍♀️

This does feel rather like getting blood out of a stone.
Do you want a possible inheritance or not?  If not, then do nothing.
If you do, "presumably see a solicitor locally" is no good because you shouldn't be presuming anything. So you need to clarify whether the embassy is the only option, and if it's not what the other options are. And if one is to see a solicitor, then you need to be very clear on exactly what you are asking the solicitor to do or provide.

If you don't want to see a Solicitor, though I don't know why you'd have an aversion, you can go to the Embassy, as you said.
