Photo for driving licence-who can sign?

froggy27_2

I need to send my driving licence to change my address (long overdue) but as I am not British (just married to one!) i have to send my identity card (passport has just expired) therefore somebody has to sign my photo and the form. I do not really know any of the suggested professional person but can anybody sign? i mean it says a reputable person.. would a work colleague, who has known me for years, do?
i know i can also go to my doctor but it's so hard to get an appointment and i think they charge for this now....
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank in advance.

If you use the local post office the owner can sign,the landlord at your local pub(if you use one) can sign,

A policeman, a civil servant - but they must have known you personally for more than two years.

thanks for help. I ended up asking a nurse/midwife and apparently that's fine...

There used to be a long list of people on the passport office website, but that's changed with the new procedures.

Basically, it's anyone 'in good standing' which'd be regulated by a proper professional body - so a nurse, policeman, teacher, social worker, accountant, lawyer, chemist, choropodist, civil servant, optometrist, trade union rep, funeral director, fireman etc etc...

GPs will charge as it's a private matter not covered by the NHS

I'm not sure how useful that will be as the OP was looking for a driving licence, not a passport.

However, the DVLA kindly provide some examples of appropriate people here

Well, actually, any person with a good standing on society can sign on it!

I am a graduate engineer (degree level) and I signed on my colleague's license and it was approved. And I am not a EU citizen!

But the person should be your your immediate family member. But can be friend/relative.

Doesn't matter if s/he knows you for 2 years. As long as s/he believes that you're a good person :rolleyes: s/he would happlily sign.

Hope it helps.
