Your signing check
3 to fix- Section 11 · AttorneyNeeds fixing
An attorney has signed before your certificate provider. Signatures must be dated in order — you, then your certificate provider, then your attorneys.
- Section 9 · WitnessNeeds fixing
Your witness's address looks incomplete. The OPG needs their full name and address next to the signature.
- Section 14 · RegistrationWorth a look
No payment method is ticked for the registration fee. Worth a quick check before you post.
3 things to fix before this is ready to post.
An example check — mark each item to watch it resolve.
The OPG registration fee is separate. Every LPA must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, which charges a statutory fee of £92.00 per LPA (effective 17 November 2025) when you post your signed forms. This fee goes to the government, not SmartLPA.
You may pay less, or nothing. If the donor’s gross annual income is under £12,000, a 50% reduction applies (£46 per LPA). If the donor receives certain means-tested benefits, the fee may be waived entirely (£0) using form LPA120, submitted with the LPA at registration. We’ll help you check — this is an estimate, and the OPG decides based on your application and supporting evidence.
