Hi
I've just picked up a criminal disclosure form from my local police station in Manchester but I don't know who I can get to countersign it. It has to be a 'person of standing' that has known me for at least a year, a doctor, solicitor etc. I can only think of my doctor who doesn't really know me cos I've not been for years.
Also, does anyone know if doctors generally charge for this service and if so how much?

Thanks, I just wanna get it sent off as soon as possible

I think you are requesting the wrong form, I didn't need a counter signature for mine...unless it differs for Manchester?

Hi

Yeah the Manchester Police form has to have a countersignature for some reason. My form says 'Data Protection Act 1988 Application for info held about you by GMP. The police man I spoke to said lots of people come in for it for visas.

I thought the criminal check was gonna be straight forward but obviously not.

Hmm that is different,

I would just try the doctor.

Yeah, try the doctor...but he will charge for that service.

Do you know someone who has a certification (such as chartered accountant) because that someimes counts in the UK. My husband is a quantity surveyor and in the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyor (or something like that) and there are things he can sign ... like the back of a passport photo to certify the photo is who it says it is.

I got the HR manager at the company I worked for to sign it.
