Hi all,
I will be using the online app for a first British passport. My old manager who is a civil servant will be my referee. Should I use his civil service work email or his personal one?
Thank you!

I would ask him which one to use.

He was asking me. The question is whether they want to see proof that he is employed in civil service, or whether any email would do

Any email used by the referee should do.

Can confirm. Any email will be sufficient, as long as it belongs to your referee.

As others said it doesn't matter. They need the email just so they can send the link for them to add their details and confirm your identity.
