That's a damn cheek IMHO.
They no longer do call outs, don't work on Saturdays and had a huge pay rise a few years ago and now want to charge for this
I've always been pleased to do passports and these and FAC's for free for anyone that I have known for long enough.

Same here Robert, I have never attempted to charge to do passports, shotgun certs or whatever. It's not as though it takes a long time for them to do it. :huh:

Aye, it rather appears your quack is trying to bolster his petty cash reserves. Did he offer you a receipt at all?

Used to be a useful earner for some doctors getting cash from undertakers for death certificates if I remember right until HMRC found out and started doing in-depth enquries on them and imposing penalties and interest for non-disclosure of income!
The quack probably did offer a receipt, at the knock down price of only £5 extra ! :.: :.:

My next door neighbour signed my mine and no problems, also signed my son's passport.
Doesn't have to be a doctor or similar, they just state that as an example

Thats right, I asked my FLO what was meant in the application notes by 'someone of good standing' - he said basically anyone who doesnt have a criminal record.
My mates doctor charged him £30 and took 2 weeks to do it. :wacko:

Yes we have recently covered this but to clarify and concur with previous posters. Counter signatory does not need to be a professional however it is preferable, anyone who could be classed as respectable and with no criminal record is acceptable. I have signed certs off no problem i am in business and have had various security checks Incl CRB due to some sensitive sites that i work on, so that prob helped.
Therefore someone in there wisdom deemed i was respectable,

When I recently applied for my licence my Dr wouldn't sign as he stated that because I gave the police the OK to check my medical records it put him in an awkward position.
I just got a friend who's a teacher to sign and all went well
