Hi Katsuri

Anything and everything can be investigated by the authorities but we still need to provide full evidence on paper for the application process to pass the requirements.

Although it may not mention in the required list of documents on the UKBA website, it is advisable to attach a certified copy of at least your passport's photo page in case you are British, if not you also need to show a certified copy of the any other UK VISA issued on the passport.

post office one of the options

At the Post Office® you can get up to 3 identity documents checked for just £7.15.

Good luck.

I am not sure about post office, much better to have it done by solicitor. £20 is about right fee to pay
