British Citizenship

Post by jazb » Mon Aug 05, 2013 9:33 am

Hello All,

I will be applying for my First British Passport. I need to someone to countersign the application and the photograph.

Being in IT industry and all friends and relatives in IT, I am finding it difficult to find someone who is 25 years old, has Bristish Citizenship and is one of the professional. I've read on this forums that my IT collegues and friends can not counter sign my application.

Having said this, can a priest of a Gurdwara do this? Are they considered to be professional? He said his job title would be "Religious Worker".

Very confused.. Can someone experienced plz advice if this would be appropiate?

Thanks
Jas

Hi,

Putting a job title as a 'religious worker' or 'minister of religion' should be ok

I am planning to apply for my British passport after the ceremony (on 9th Oct).

I've already filled the form and got it signed by the countersignatory on 18th Aug.

Will there be a problem that the the countersignatory signed it a 1.5 months ago? or is it fine?

Thanks
