There is provision if you are outside UK about getting some one counter sign your application.

Check this one https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications

If you still have questions, best place to get info is Adviceline.

When you fill online information, they'll post you form with all your filled information, you take that form to countersignatory along with one photo at the back of which countersignatory needs to write/sign.

Process is very slow.. I'd suggest, go to post office & get the form from there.
