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,

I am pretty sure it was before 2005.

Yes, I applied for one in 2005 and I needed my referee to countersign
it.

Did they have to give their passport number aswell as their signature
Marcus?

Yes, I remember the form asking for it, so my boss had to bring his passport
in to work and copy the number off it.

I wonder how this works when the referee does not have a passport.
