The UKPA say it has to be a professional. In practice, it can anyone who is working and has known you for at least 2 years. Ask one of your neighbours.

Your Doc should do it for you, although they often charge a silly amount for it (We know how short of cash GP's are!) I'd ask at the post office for advice, but they can be signed by Police officers, Paramedics, Teachers, Doctors........
Good luck

Your doctor should do it for you. Do you have a solicitor, know a police officer? have a word at your local post office to see who else can sign it for you

Why? Doesn't he know you long enough? What about a school teacher?

You do not say how old you but if there is a teacher that remembers you from school, they can do it.

Your doctor can do it but he/she will probably charge a fee - he/she CANNOT refuse to do it
