who can sign for passports

[ilovesprouts]

Getting a passport for me and ds2 who can sign the photos for them ? Can a long time friend do it ??.

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

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.

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

Ah she's just a lifelong friend I've known over 20 years,will ask ds2 headmaster to do his then just mine to sort out .

He can do yours too.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Surely that applies to anyone, not just teachers.

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.

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.

Ds2 headmistress is going to sign the photos X
