If you go the F & C O website and click on legalisation you'll see the date of receipt of applications they are working on at present.

you'll see the current one I have posted below.

Postal Application Update - Monday 23 July 2007. We have currently opened all mail received up to 5 July 2007, applications received after this date will be processed as soon as possible. To confirm that applications sent by registered or special delivery have arrived in our office please contact Royal Mail. Please visit this page on Monday 30 July 2007 for a further update

We sent ours just before the last holiday weekend in May and got it back in the early 20's of June..and that was from and to our solicitor as you describe.

Seems that it is quite a slow process. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is better to know the truth than to wait expectantly for the post everyday.

good luck.

Mark,

only just picked up your post and assume you have had your POA sent off. We recently did the same thing.

One word of advice. Turn around at the F & C O is currently three to four weeks. However, if you travel to London you'll get it in a couple of hours. If I was doing it again and time was of the essence I'd travel to London on the Monday morning and arrange for DHL to pick it up from me at the F & C O. They'll gurantee delivery in 24 hours for little over £35 if you book on line. That way your POA is with your lawyer not long after you get back home.

 

Good luck
