Its a pain isn't it. Mine needs renewing and a relative has told me that a Doctor will charge you for countersigning (what a rip-off that is if true).

Last time I got a Local Government Councillor to sign mine. Good luck with it.

Amazingly there is a list with your passport application of who can countersign the photo. All the answers given so far are good- and yeah the majority of doctors will charge for the privillege of signing it.
Whoever signs it for you, please make sure they do give their correct details- the passport office can and do check that the countersigner is real and entitled to sign it :)

Your boss, your hubby's boss, your children's teachers, your doctor or the bank, good luck and enjoy your holiday.

Yep for a fee, why not try the kids teachers if they go to school...

Yes the doctor can sign also your employer , teachers , vicar , as long as they have known you for i think it's 5 years.

mishnbong

A public house licensee can sign as long as they have a passport. Doctors etc will charge

Yes, a doctor or teacher.

Postmaster, nurse, any professional in good standing.

yes you can ask a doctor but most of them charge a fee you could maybe ask the childrens teachers ?

aye yr gp will do it or if you know any trained nurses or local councillors they can do it too

Doctors can do but they usually charge a fee. But if you dont know anyone else try them!

If you have problems then call the passport office as they can advise as well

Best of luck.

yes he will charge you// now bank manager if he's known you for 2 years (hes either gone during that time or if like me i never see the manager ) he must lock himself in his office but don't worry there are lots of folk around will sign if their profession sounds good ! motor mechanic (engineer)

Most doctors won't do this, fee or not.
As someone suggested, your local publican (if you're a regular) as they have to be of good character to have a licence.
Nurse, teacher, clergyman that sort of thing. They have had to have known you for at least two years.

Any Business man /woman if they are registered for VAT.
I have done nearly all my employees

Joanne S

anyone who is classed as a council worker can do it

Voice of Reason

Could be your doctor or dentist (only the most cheeky would charge) a teacher, or civil servant (which needn't be a Whitehall Mandarin - could be the clerk at your local tax office if you know them)
