You can ask a family relative or a close friend to sign it.

Really?


I'm just joking, but you can ask a family relative or a close friend, a teacher, a work college etc. There are many options. Different relatives within your family, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles?
I’m gonna try this tomorrow hopefully they say they can do it

Have a look through the list. Have you tried a teacher at your current/last school?

They can't be related to you by birth or marriage.

You cannot use a relative - it has to be a professional.
One of my dad's work friends (that had met me a few times) signed mine I think, maybe you could ask your parents if anyone they know would sign.

This is wrong you cannot use relatives. The local chemist is anothet suggestion. Doctor would do it for money. Teacher or civil servant or bank worker.

Does the chemist have to know me? Or will they do it anyway

I don't think you mean that? Of course they have to know you, they are signing to say they know you. Do you have neighbours who were 'professionals', even if retired? Teacher/lawyer/businessman/anyone 'traceable' really. Established/permanent Civil Servants can do it

What type of shop is it? If it's a small corner shop that isn't VAT registered or operating as a limited company then the owner won't qualify. Your neighbour might be safer provided they've known you for 2+ years.

It’s just a corner shop, I’m also in the post office regularly due to having a small business, would the post office be able to do it?
