Another question.

For applying for a passport, I can't find anyone to countersign that I've known for 2 years and is a passport holder.

I read here on the Consumer Advisory website that if someone cannot find someone to countersign their passport, they can submit a signed declaration instead. But when looking online about this, I haven't read about any instance where someone said they've done this and had their application approved.

Does anyone know if that is an option?

No stated requirement for them to be a passport holder and the list of occupations is so long its hard to believe that you wont know anyone who is a manager in a company thats VAT registered... does the manager of your local cornershop or pub or bakery know you?

From the link you quote

If you’re applying in the UK

Your countersignatory must:

• live in the UK
• have a current British or Irish passport
