SORTED NOW -Where to get document certified quickly

[vladi]

I need to get a document certified fairly quickly.
For convenience on public transport, E.D. or Peckham or Herne Hill or Camberwell areas would suit best. Here is a list of the appropriate types of certifiers:-

Solicitor
Licensed Conveyancer
Notary Public
Chartered Legal Executive.

William Bailey is a well-established local solicitors firm based in Goose Green

I've used them in the past with no complaints

The Post Offcie certify copy documents. Check with whoever needs it if they would be appropriate

They're obviously not competent to witness the documents in the OP's case.  The list of required qualifications looks to me similar to the Land Registry's requirement connected with a TR1.

Vladi, from my own experience I'd not rely on email inquiries of potentials.   The response I got an email to the solicitors in Melbourne Grove was from another of their branches and was inconsequential.  From William Bailey, addressed to their published  reception or info mailbox and saying I could drop in at very short notice, I'm afraid I got no response  at all, even after also mentioning that  I'd be looking for assistance with a will in the near future and expected to be asking them.

 From an online search i did note quite a few in the Camberwell area.  In the end though I was able to rely on an online verification, arranged by one of the other parties.

The post office were competent for my purposes when I was presented with a similar list. 

But I did suggest the OP check with the actual person who requires certification, and not me or some bloke call Ianr from the internet.

The OP asked for advice from people on the internet.

People who replied were trying to be helpful.

My reply was helpful, hopefully. Someone else found the same advice helpful previously too.

Had to have similar done some years ago and went to Armstrong's in Forest Hill  (opposite the station)

@vladi Did you have any luck with this in the end? I need someone to certify a document for an Irish Passport rather quickly. It doesn't mention that I can get it done at the Post Office. Did you manage to find a local solicitor who did it for you? 

 

UPDATE: Found a firm in Catford. William Bailey said they won't do it, but recommended another firm... who also said no, strangely.

William Bailey solicitors have been our family solicitors for 40 odd years, starting with Bill Bailey. He retired due to ill health and only acted as a consultant in the final years of his life. Since COVID the solicitors work mainly from home but you can get an appointment to see them at their office.  I think that their admin staff work a similar way .

Hubby last saw them at end of year when he updated his will.
