GPs are no longer able to counter sign Passport Forms
Please be aware that GPs are no longer able to counter sign Passport Forms following new guidance from the Passport Office below:
The counter signatory must not:
- Be related by birth or marriage
- Be living at the same address as the applicant/parent of applicant
Additional Update: “In the past it was ok to use your Doctor/GP to countersign your application. Due to high demand and complaints received from medical professionals you are now not able to use your registered doctor as a counter signatory (however if you have a friend or colleague who is a doctor this is still permitted).”
