A person prepares a focused PDF and editable Word document for you.

A LETTER WITH A CLEAR SCOPE

Permission for a conversation, clearly defined

A focused letter can identify who is speaking, which organisation they are contacting and what enquiry they may discuss. It does not automatically authorise transactions, signing declarations or health decisions.

Understand how permission works

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Check the recipient’s own process first

Some organisations provide their own consent form or record permission another way. Ask whether it accepts a letter for the task you have in mind. A family relationship alone does not establish authority.

CHOOSE THE SERVICE, NOT JUST THE DOCUMENT

Different services have different consent routes

Start with the exact organisation. These London services are separate and may ask for different steps.

YOUR QUESTIONS

A few useful answers

Do we always need a letter?

No. The organisation may record consent another way or provide its own form. Ask what it accepts.

Can I help a parent complete an application?

You can help with the form, but that does not automatically let you sign for them or discuss the case. Check the service’s requirements.

Is a letter the same as power of attorney?

No. A letter for one enquiry does not grant general decision-making authority.

Will every organisation accept the same letter?

No. Each recipient sets its own process and checks.

A CLEAR, FOCUSED DOCUMENT

Need permission in writing?

Check the organisation accepts a letter for your task. Free or official consent routes may be available.
