Passport referee - What Info Do I need?

Post by Enigma-Machine » Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:01 pm

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the weekend.

I have a quick question regarding the online passport application.

What information do I specifically need from my referee? Just their full name, address and email?

I read on the Guidance notes that I need their Passport number. Would I need to add this to my application, or would they be asked to provide it once they receive an email to confirm my identity?

Many thanks in advance for your help and please stay safe

The person will provide him/herself. All you need is their full name and email. I am assuming you mean, confirm identity online for BP.

Many Thanks @Cullinan! I really appreciate your response. And Yes, I am referring to the person who will confirm my identity.

Do you know what kind of information my referee should expect to be asked for?

I assume it's basically to confirm that they know me for 2+ years, and that I am who I present myself to be on the application?

Many thanks!

He will confirm your identity - not really a referee as in naturalisation.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Many thanks - That's what I assumed, just wanted to make sure before I ask the person to do it.

I Really appreciate your help :)
