Comments

Who can sign your form and photo
Your countersignatory must:
have known the person applying (or the adult who signed the form if the passport is for a child under 16) for at least 2 years
be able to identify the person applying, eg they’re a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows them professionally)
be ‘a person of good standing in their community’ or work in (or be retired from) a recognised profession
They can’t be closely-related to or involved with the person applying, eg:
related by birth or marriage
be in a relationship with or live at the same address as the person applying0 -
So is a second cousin's spouse closely related by marriage? I'd say not and is therefore fine. However if say a cousin/aunt/nephew/etc and their spouse was too close.Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!0
