Getting a counter signature for passport

MCS

What a pain in the arris that is!! I am going on hols in sept and need to re-new passports for me, Erika and Daisy!! And am struggling to find someone to sign the back!! Anyone else have this trouble as i dont know many old bill/firemen/so on too well so what do you do if you don't, just not get passport!??!

SE10Addick

can you not get company directors to sign it as well?

F-Blocker

The Dr when Daisy goes for a check-up?

MCS

The only company directors i know are my dad and uncle! My old bosses would of done it but that would be weird if i had to go back and ask them to do that after they just made me redundant!!

Stuck from beleveredderedrerdere

GP's tend to charge for it, which is disgraceful IMO.

Teachers can do it Ollie if you know any - that's who we used.

MCS

Just changed docs F blockdude and i havnt even met them yet!! Plus i hear they charge!! Just forked out 8 quid for just me an Erikas photos and we still have to go and get some for Daisy at a chemist or something like that!! Plus that to amount 3 passports are going to cost me, add to that i am a job less loser, and Erika finds out if she is also redundant next week, i dont need to cost hassle!!

Dilemas !!!

If you have a Bank account get them to sign it. They will of course need to check your signatures / ID. They don't charge.

MCS

Well they could only do yours I'm afraid (unless they know your wife unofficially ie they know her even though she doesn't have an account)

DaveMehmet

Oliie, are you at home today. My wife's a teacher but is on maternity leave today. If you want I can ring her and arrange it if you want (we're in Bexley)

That list says Personal Licensee Holders. Surely that means you can take it down the Pub for the lanlord to sign LOL Ideal.

Henry Irving

I remember being asked to sign a friends divorce papers.

He told me his wife wanted me to sign it as I was the only one with a "respectable" job title and she didn't want "carpet fitter" (MOG knows who I mean) or similar on her divorce papers.

She was nuts, mind.

KBslittlesis

You might want to check - if the new photo looks like the old photo then they will accept it without a countersignature.

Bournemouth Addick

I've just signed one for someone BUT whoever does it get them to be VERY careful not to go outside the box with it or you'll get it rejected. It's a bit of joke really with renewals that they are gettgin so flipping fussy.
