Hi Guys,

Does anyone know when this rule came into play-that countersignatories
on passport applications must supply their own passport number?

Also does anyone have an 'older' passport form from 2005/2006 that
they could scan section 10 (countersignatory section) into and upload
it to see if it was a requirement then?

All the best,

-Ben

I am pretty sure it was before 2005.
