got my basic disclosure back after about 15 days, clean as a whistle,

i hung onto it a while before doing anything else with it, thinking it will be an expensive waste to get notarized, should my house sale fall through,then i would have to start over again,
anyway everything is going good with the house so far, and is now at the stage of under offer,i spoke to the estate agent and also the buyer,
so i felt confident enough to get it notarized,
i went to the same solicitor who is selling my house, i asked what do i owe him for the fee,
he said we are selling your house,the least we can do is give you a signature for free
i phoned this morning got appointment this afternoon, all done
back home and paid online for FCO authentification including postage total £36 which includes the £6 return courier postage,
filled in the application form that i printed off, enter the 8 digit payment no/ date and time etc
online payment requires you include a blank A4 envelope along with the application form and not forgetting the notarized basic disclosure,
it will be tomorrow afternoon before i get to the post office, where i will send it by recorded delivery, registered envelope does not exist anymore,
