Dont take any chances folks and cover yourselves with a notarised letter and copy passport. A notary should only charge around £25 max for notarising an authority. Gill

Gill, I just wish we could find a Notary who only charges £25. Brian as President of the HOA has to get two signatures notarised here in the UK and the lowest charge is £75 and the highest was £150. In the US the bank do it for nought.
I was just curious as I said Blott if you could only become a Notary if you were a solicitor. The cost is also many times higher than the US which is why there are probably so many more over there and they dont charge as much (if at all ) for their services.

Often its the luck of the drawer where you are in the country as to how many there arelocally and this will be reflected in their charges.
We took a friend of my sons with us 3 years ago & had our knockles wrapped by immigration for not having a letter from the parents.
Chris was 16 at the time.
We also had to take him to the emergency room for an ear infection and we too had to call his Mum in England from the hospital to get her verbal consent to treatment.
He did have his own insurance for the trip.
