Don’t have anyone to sign passport

[BlueBurys]

I really want to take my children abroad but don’t have anyone to do their passports. Has anyone been in this situation and what did you do? (Don’t need any suggestions of who can sign it I’m aware and have looked through the list but don’t have anyone that can do it) is there anything else that can be done if you’ve been in this situation?

It struck me that there's nothing on the Passport Office website for anyone in OP's situation except "contact us". That makes sense- the Passport Office doesn't want to advertise how to get round the requirements but will deal on a case by case basis for anyone who genuinely can't comply.

The OP may well have been told that whatever was discussed with her is confidential.

I don’t need to help others, I’m the only person that’s ever been in this situation.

The answer is contact the Passport Office and they will review your case. This will be done on a case by case basis. What was said to OP is irrelevant.

Wow. Rude as well as selfish. Excellent. Wtf did you even start the thread. Clearly had absolutely no intention of taking advice.

Perhaps you could go and repaint your sitting room and watch the paint dry for a couple of years while you wait for someone to legally countersign for you.

👍

I find it interesting that you never actually replied to my question, nor to those on this thread.

A good place to ask is parents of kids who your kids go to school with. You've usually known them long enough and someone is usually a Doctor or a Teacher etc.

Given your posts on this thread, I think it’s pretty clear to all why nobody is willing to sign your passport application 😂

Parents of other children might know you, but equally might only know you as "Jane's mum"

The test for the signatory is - "if shown a photograph of the person do you know who they are?"

I'm sure plenty of the parents could have recognised me as "Jane's mum" - Some might have said "Jane Smith's mum, Janet Smith" in which case they wouldn't meet the criteria as I'd be "Jane Smith's mum, Janet Completely different surname"

if that's the case then she will have a case worker who could sign her god damn forms for her,it's pathetic perhaps if she gave a reason she knows not one single person in the world and opposed to getting advice what does she expect everyone's reactions to be,looks like her kids will never get on holiday,butlins it is

oh and another thing i have fled domestic abuse and every tom and dick and Michelle to help me and they would all of happily signed a passport form for me,now.my childs 13 I weirdly enough got her teacher to.sign her forms just last week zero problems with it,if my youngest at nursery needed one they would also sign it this person can not know 1 single person no?iv been in some bad situations in my life and hid away for a long time to get my head right still doesn't mean I didn't know anyone

The school refused keep up 🙄

There's clearly more going on than meets the eye here

did this person just appear on earth as a adult and given kids and said here crack on love,no someone had to conceive her of which they will have family and friends so I find it hard to comprehend anything right now,do you work do you claim benefits?either of would sign it also,perhaps ring benefits or leave a message in your journal to ask if they can do it,youve clearly done nothing to help yourself apart from cause mayhem on here when all everyone's done is try help you

The problem is people think they know the answer. Such as the gp, who as you say can't sign it. At my kids school the teachers won't/can't sign. I don't talk to parents at my kids school only in passing . And they are single mums at home , unemployed, or carers to sen kids .

Posters also get upset that you don't take their advice even though you can't . They also think because they know theses people that you do to and they can't see beyond that .

no they didn't its bull shit

Thank you, they won’t accept that my kids school said no that it’s not something they will do.

I posted on “lone parents” not aibu, my children’s father is not involved already covered that.

I know! Build relationships with a couple of people who are eligible…wait two years….et voila!

I'm not on about ya kids dad I'm on about your mum and dad,they had a mum and dad which they might if had siblings etc etc etc,if you drive and go to the same garage to get mot or whatever done they can even do it for you,it would be alot easier for everyone on here if you explained your situation abit more then myself and alot of others wouldn't respond the way we are hun all everyone's doing is trying to help you

You’re assuming everyone has living parents 🤔

My kids school don't do it. I think legally they can . But are told not to by the head.

Is that you counting the number of people you've actually realised you could approach via your children and their friends and parents but are still refusing to?

You can't use relatives.

The idea that someone in the garage who did your MOT would meet the criteria is laughable.
