Hi everyone

I'm about to apply for my first new British passport (after having my ceremony done last week)
is it ok to let my employer (who is a Director of the company where I work for) to countersign my application? considering that I have been working for them since July 2019 (only 3 months ago)

Please advise with many thanks,

Regards

no:

Your countersignatory must:

have known you (or the adult who signed the form if the passport is for a child under 16) for at least 2 years
be able to identify you, for example they’re a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally)
be ‘a person of good standing in their community’ or work in (or be retired from) a recognised profession

Thank you very much hermanthegerman for the clarification
highly appreciated
