Ask someone to confirm your identity - child

Hi

I applied for a British passport for my 4 years old son and now the application need someone to confirm my son's identity. Can I ask please if I don't know anyone that knows my son from the Recognised professions list here:
https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/hel ... g-identity
?

I can try a nurse or social worker, but my experience with the Citizenship application suggest they won't or rarely help !

Can a Driving instructor works, I can't see that listed.

Many thanks

Issue that is well known to UKVI. Find a family friend that is on the recognised list of professions that knows your child, maybe ask the professional referee that helped you with citizenship.

Thanks but the issue with this, for example, the Citizenship application accepts driving instructor but the passport application not?

I think the list of professions is the same.
