DWP life certificate.

Ridiculous, the idiots in the DWP refuse to do this nonsense via e-mail or online as they claim that it isn't secure. Does that mean the Government Gateway isn't secure? If that's the case then they have an even bigger problem than I thought, If it's not the case, then why not just set up a page on the Government Gateway so you an register your continued existence there? Mu occupational pension is worth three times my state pension, yet the pension fund is happy to do everything online, including a PoL certificate every two years.

Signature

FSA registration trustee number of mine

Read the rules it will say a stamp is not necessary.

 

Like I said I have signed hundreds at no cost to anyone, but of course you can pay someone if you wish.

 

END!

 

Agreed. Our village Phu Yai Ban (who also happens to be my wife's nephew) signs mine. No stamp but never been a problem.

FYI I think the first time I used their "special" service (> 1000 baht) which took a week - the same time as the 200 (actually maybe 270) service

In that case it is IMHO simply not fit for purpose. In exactly the same way as HMPO's passport renewal online facility is not fit for purpose as we're not allowed to use it from Thailand.

They are sent out as and when to persons mainly living abroad, to see you are still with us, note if you do not send back they will stop payment until received and would then backdated the payments outstanding.

 

As a retired pension trustee I have signed countless of these for for colleagues, note it does not need a stamp etc, merely a recognised person to effect.

Well as the form has a box for a official stamp to be put in, I for one wouldn't risk sending it back without a stamp for a fickle DWP to reject the form and then stop my payments.

 

You of course are welcome to do as you see fit.

Certainly trackable as far as Wolverhampton. But its ultimate destination is, however, located in Newcastle upon Tyne!

Read there info  a stamp is not required, providing a recognised person  / official signs it. Other posts have agreed.

 

But up to you, pay a 1000 bath+-
