Countersigning Passport as Director

Sinn0h

I am countersigning a passport for someone as a director of a limited company. Under the "Profession, professional qualifications or position in the community," would I simply just put Director? Or Director of ***? Something else? Does not specify.

Thanks

If there is space, put "director" and the company name. The more information, the better.

Company Director is (should be) sufficient.

One thing to remember. A company director is fine as to counter sign a passport application but only if the company is VAT registered.

Not true, the list includes these entries:

• chairman or director of a limited company
• director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company

So at director level it makes no difference whether the company is VAT-registered or not.

Completely false information.

Make sure you include your company’s name as it will be checked on company’s house website

That’s only if it’s not a limited company

I'll hold my hand up and say my mistake.

I read (misread actually) this:

director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company
