Credit card request for details conundrum

413x · 7 Sep 2013 at 09:53

Well as unlikely as it I have been accepted for an Amex card without being on the electoral roll
But they understandably want details of id etc
However I am unsure as to if anyone on the list of approved professions can do it

Here's the list

I personally don't know any of these people, can I just go to the bank and ask for this to be signed?

Uh.

It does say the person signing can work for a bank, I'd say it's worth going in and asking.

Google search for notary in your area, they will likely charge money per page

I'd take it in my bank.

no point in paying really

post office and bank are my only real options..whether they will do it or not i dont know.

It's a service offered at post office, you don't need to know the person.

Post office charge like £7 or something stupid...I walked out

Then I just went to my bank and they did it for free. They even have pre-prepared stamps for this sort of thing.

Mine won't do it. Which I'm a bit annoyed about, wouldn't take 2 minutes.
Halifax btw

I asked Halifax before to sign passport photos - they refused. I'm getting a decent wedge of cash next year and I'll let it land in my account then I'm moving banks - the *****.

This makes no sense - Halifax will probably look at you and think "Wait, you are moving to a telephony based bank because we won't sign your passport application"....

Think about it.....
