I am applying for my BC in the next few weeks. I am planning to ask my friend to be countersignatory for me however, he himself has got British Passport only about a week ago. Is it ok to ask him to be my referee when he has been a British Citizen only for this long?
Thanks,

My referee only got his passport a month prior to my application. I got my BC rather recently without any problems. So you should be fine.
