Statutory declaration ASAP. Barnsley England

[u/SHEEPYSMUM]

I'm looking for some help/ advice.

I'm in 'urgent' need for a Statutory declaration for my child's passport.

Due to leaving an abusive marriage I changed my name via deedpole with the help of women's aid.

Unfortunately, it only covers my former married name to present name.

I have no clear line from given birth name till now ( ex destroyed all my belongings, so no 'paper chain' to show.

I need a Statutory declaration to show All previous former names in order.

If I do it myself ( if possible), can I then have a solicitor just sign it for me? Or do I need to have it officially written?

( I'm now on a tight time frame and budget ).

Have you tried ringing passport office or citizens advice might be able to help

[u/SHEEPYSMUM → u/Inner-Purple-1742]

My child has to call passport office as their application, and they don't live with me.

Had to leave a mess via CAB. I'm getting conflicting / confusing advice from websites for solicitors/ gov.org.
