PROFORMA

 

A document like this needs to be witnessed preferably by a commissioner for oaths at your local solicitors. It can cost anything between £5 and £20 for this service, or you can visit your county court witnessing service.

If you want copies made to send to various official bodies like the passport service and so on, then it is wise to print a few of these out, ensure each one is signed in front of your witness (not copied).

This below is for guidance only it is always better to have this on the solicitors headed paper – as it looks more official to lay people. It may also be expected by your gender specialist – home made ‘StatDecs’ can look suspicious even if they are legal.
