Maybe security checks. Just send it to them and you will get her passport done faster.

Just do it, otherwise they don't issue the passport.
I had trouble with my countersignee, he did provide his passport No. On the form, they sended him a letter asking for some details, and again another letter saying he did't fill up propely first one.
So I was waiting about 4-6 weeks for my boy passport.
