I notice on the accompanying paper work that a qualified Pharmacist can witness the documentation ..So I asked my local pharmacist who I've been using for many years... and she was more than will to do the dirty deed 🙂 ... and she refused to accept any money but I left 100b on the counter as I left the her shop :-).

This is from the form they sent out UK DWP

 

People who can witness the Life Certificate are:
• a member of the police force
• a teacher or lecturer
• an officer of a bank authorised to sign documents on its behalf
• a doctor, surgeon, dentist, nurse, pharmacist or optician registered under the
law of the country where the declaration is made
• a care or residential home manager (if customer is resident)
• a barrister, solicitor or advocate authorised to practice in the country where
the declaration is made
• paralegal (certified paralegal, qualified paralegal, or associate member of the
Institute of Paralegals)
• a Notary Public or any other person allowed to administer oaths in the country
where the declaration is made (commissioner for oaths)
• a civil servant or government employee
• a member of the Foreign Service of the United Kingdom or HM Overseas Civil
Service or a British Diplomatic or Consular Officer
• a councillor, for example local or county
• a local government officer
• a Member of Parliament
• a magistrate or Justice of the Peace
• a minister of a recognised religion

I used my Bangkok Bank manageress to sign off mine the other week. But it is done with an accompanying letter signed and stamped as BB are not allowed to actually sign outside documents, if that makes any sense.

I am also told that your local police station will sign it for 20THB.

First time I used a lawyer who charged 500 baht, but last time I went to the local police station and got them to sign and stamp it for free.

Do it yourself, they just want to get it returned, how can they check who signed it?

It states quite clearly at the top of page 2 of 6 '...The official at the agency/institution you use will then sign and stamp the Life Certificate'.

In Spain we can do it online using a mobile app. I can't think of a better and more convenient way.

NO stamp is required for UK proof of life form,  The word is "IF "  read the form,   

Witness stamp
If you have an official stamp for yourself
or your employer, please provide it here.

been doing this for ten year with no stamp

[chilly07]

Since DWP outsourced mailing to a Belgian company I have never received a POL letter so I email  relevant docs ( last time my postal vote confirmation) once a year and get an email back from DWP 

[theoldgit]

Retired UK Civil Servants can sign these forms as can some other retired expats, like bank managers, no stamping is necessary.

 

Most expats know people who fit into these categories and who would be only too happy to assist.

I have used a dentist's receptionist and a vet. Both did it for free.
