Quick passport question

[Tigerbandage]

I need to get my daughter a new passport, currently has a child passport will need an adult passport, will I need to get another countersign? will she be called to interview? Thanks

I would like to know as well

Ive got 6 weeks to get it sorted, I can’t find an answer online :(

Not sure about the counter sign but she won't need to go for an interview

Presumably the new photo will be somewhat different to her last one so will need countersigning. Why would she be called to interview?

If her picture has changed significantly she will need a countersignature.

My older daughter and friend both got called to interview for first adult passport but they never had child passports
Shit I don’t know anyone to countersign

Actually scrap that you won't need a counter signature either as long as her new photo is recognisable as her when compared to her old passport. Just remembered I did my ex's adult passport from a child's one and didn't need a counter signature

Well she’s 16 now old photo she was 12 so hasn’t changed a lot

No you don't.

One of her teachers can counter sign for you if you need it

My 17 year old son just renewed his child passport to an adult one. He did it online with a photo taken on his phone. He did not need to have it counter signed.

Super quick and easy.

She’s just started a new college, seems a bit cheeky to go back to the old school and ask! But hopefully won’t need it

Thanks Aurea, that’s put my mind at rest, how long did it take to arrive? Need to get a good photo in daylight but I’m always at work

Ditto

Thanks

Around a week. I did mine the same time and it took 10 days. This was in August.

Great thank you, I’ll get it sorted this week

From looking at the gov website I don’t think they need it to be countersigned. Why not ring the passport office to double check?

Yes it does need to be countersigned it can all be done online now including uploading passport photo.

If you go somewhere like max photos, timpsons etc they'll give you a code which you put in online and your photo uploads

DD age 16 just went from child passport to adult passport. We took the photo against a wall, uploaded it with the application, no countersigning required.

Fab thanks all

You do it as a renewal. No countersignature or interview required

DS1's first adult passport didn't need counter signing either.

(Renewal from a child one, not a first passport)

And do it online as it's about £10 cheaper. We used uploaded pictures from our phone to do 3 renewals this year
