Hi,

I'm trying to apply for a British passport but I have trouble finding someone for a countersignature with professional qualifications who already owns a British passport and fits the qualifying professions (apart from my partner but obviously he can't do it cos he's in a personal relationship with me).

My best friend is a registered nurse but she's an Aussie with an indefinite leave to remain. Could she do it? Or does it have to be someone with a UK passport?

Cheers,
Dee

The guidance it quite clear:

The person you ask to countersign should be someone who has known you for at least two years. They must:
be over 18
hold a current British or Irish passport
be willing to write their passport number on the form


If you cant find anyone, try and approach your GP, if you know him well.

best wishes
