Yes but they have to have 'standing' in the community.

So a teacher, dr, bank manager, thank sort of thing.

They can't be related though

NickNacks · 01/01/2016 17:56

It has to be a person 'of good standing' in the community and have known you for two years or more. So a teacher, police officer, nurse, MP, etc.

ginmakesitallok · 01/01/2016 17:56

There's a list of suggested people in the guidance notes. Has to be someone of good standing, so as long as friend fits the criteria they'd be fine to sign it.

Vicar, bank manager, boss...

I'm a nursery manager and I've done it for a couple of the parents

ilovesprouts · 01/01/2016 17:58

He can do yours too.

AndNowItsSeven · 01/01/2016 18:00

A friend can do if as long as she has a professional quLification.

WhenTheDragonsCame · 01/01/2016 18:00

A pub landlord can sign as well as they are given their licence through the court.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/01/2016 18:00

We just asked our neighbour. It wasn't declined!

WhenTheDragonsCame · 01/01/2016 18:02

If the headmaster has known your DS for two years he must have known you the same amount of time? Also with a child I think the person needs to have known the parent not the child.

Passmethecrisps · 01/01/2016 18:03

I do it a lot as a teacher. They don't need to be my pupils - I have signed for friends as well as long as I have known them two years. I would happily do a family group as well as long as I was given plenty of warning. I get a bit anxious doing them as a mistake can cause a lot of issues so I like to be given time

Passmethecrisps · 01/01/2016 18:04

The list of possible jobs has got a lot longer I think so t is easier to find people who can do it than it used to be.

ilovesprouts · 01/01/2016 18:19

Yes ds2 headmistress has known us for 3 years so could ask her to do both my friend is just a housewife.

If you ask a teacher to sign please remember to ask not demand. I always declined people who thrust the paperwork at me saying I had to do it because the doctor wouldn't do it without being paid.

NickNacks · 01/01/2016 18:54

Surely that applies to anyone, not just teachers.

ilovesprouts · 01/01/2016 19:26

Yes I will use my thanks she was one of the first on the scene of the bad accident me and some mums had in 2013 she is lovely

Now ex hubby says I can't take him as he won't sign the passport form but if I've got parental rights only one parent needs to sign is that right ??

Yes that's true but you need his passport info (do you not have the form in front of you) and if you do get that far you may need a letter of consent to get him through the border.

ilovesprouts · 01/01/2016 20:51

Ex hubby has no pass port now he says he could be blown up by a bomb someone needs to get a grip he has no cont I since August lady year he's an Arse.
