Passport renewal.

My Wife needs her passport renewing and the form has to be countersigned. Her doctors surgery is being awkward so I am wondering if any of you have gone into your local bank or police station and had any luck obtaining a signature there.

    We had a passport renewal couple months ago ... And it didn't require a picture to be countersigned, just as long as there are no drastic changes to how you look.

    We did application online .. And once signed and sent, only took two weeks to be returned.

    Agree, if it's a renewal you shouldn't need it

    Unless she's a career criminal I'm not sure anyone in the local nick would claim to be able to know here for 5yrs :rotfl:


    On a serious note though a straight adult renewal shouldn't need this

    We renewed passports that were 10 years out of date and did not need the form or pictures countersigned.
