jonnyoftheboy Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 My father is applying for his SGC, has one slight snag..... doesn't know anybody to be his counter signatory.... doesn't know an accountant, solicitor, JP, etc. Has just moved in with us, so new doctor (and never used to visit the old one....).... only other doctor he knows is his nephew - so relative counts that out. my girlfriend is a co. director who employs 30+ people.... so she is not strictly a relative, & fits the bill of a person of standing (allegedly).... but as he is temporarily living at the same address us her/us... & the link of her & me.... I assume that this counts her out? anyone have any advice? can his new GP just sign it, even though they don't really know him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You can get someone that works in a bank,building society or post office to sign it as long as they know him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltsmark Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 He can get his GP to sign it,the GP is just confirming that the photo is a" true likeness" he is not confirming that your Father is a trustworthy person or not, thats how i understand it and of course there will be a fee to pay.
