    When they say that the countersigning person can't be related or 'involved' with the individual the direct.gov website defines that as being related by birth or marriage, in a relationship with them or live at the same address.

    No, they give those things as two examples of being related or "involved". Like the list of professions, it's not presented as an exhaustive list.

    It just occurred to me that a godparent is one of the closest formalised relationships outside blood or marriage.

    Is it? I would have thought there were many more formal relationships that come before a godparent. A godparent has no legal standing over and above any other friend of the parents who chose them.
