'... A Personal Independence Payment decision letter issued within the last 12 months or an annual uprating letter. Please supply a certified copy....'

I gotta send docs to insurance company for personal ID

[Peter Pedant]

and list B - address

these are kist examples - PIP is new DLA

ring and ask them if in doubt

[tamborine]

[tamborine]

[tamborine]

[petal54]

PIP = personal independence payment

[tamborine]

I'm lost, I dont get it. I have to send copies of passport, driving licence, photo & whatever the other docs are.

My brain has mushed

[tamborine]

Could it be a water/electric/service bill?

i cant understand your post tamborine..you have NOT got to send any form of i.d to anyone..i wouldnt send any personal information to anyone..ring your insurance company [if thats who wants id]..do not send any personal info over the internet..well thats my advice anyway..

If you're asked for a 'certified copy', you need to take the relevant document (such as your passport) to a solicitor. They'll photocopy the document and sign it (adding their office stamp to show who has done it). The usual cost is a fiver.

Gottit - tit I am ;)

Above is for disability allowance & I ticked wrong box online

Now we all know what this jargon means - hth ;)

If you don't claim PIP then you can't be required to supply a proof of benefit letter.

PIP is the revised Disability Living Allowance (DLA). If you (or any appropriate partner) have never claimed wither then you won't have one.

Ah, good :) Chris has also covered the issue relating a certified copy. Very quick, just needs a solicitor about to do one, some Legal Executives can do them as well. Notary Publics can but tend to be more expensive.

I used to do them quite a lot for people who would just pop in or ring up.

.

I would send the originals quite honestly
I didnt realise there was such an industry for certified copies (in the industry)

If you read further - now your brain is unmushed - they might say a bank does the certification for free (!)- TSB of which I am not a customer in my case.
