Passport application question

Post by jorgos82 » Wed Oct 14, 2015 9:55 am

Hello all,

with regards to who can sign your passport application.

I have a friend who got his UK passport in March this year and is also director of limited company that is fairly new.


Would there be any issue if he signs my passport application?


Many thanks

As long as they live in UK, and are not a relative, such a professional person should be acceptable if they have known you at least 2 years.

Thanks for your reply.

Found that also and it nowhere mentions minimum required time of having british passport so hope it will be ok.
