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.

The thing is there is no statement on the IPS website that addresses
this, and from forums and the like it appears to have had an impact-
GP's apparently stopped some signing of them as trhey didnt want their
passport details on others forms.


Almost any professional can sign the forms now - so you are not stuck
with the old restricted list of GP, vicar, JP ....
