Please be aware that GPs are no longer able to counter sign Passport Forms following new guidance from the Passport Office below:
“Previously applicants were able to contact their General Practitioners for a countersignature but this is no longer allowed. The high demand made it infeasible to maintain for doctors inundated with requests. The only exception is if a medical professional is a close friend of the person applying.”
Please see the list of occupations that can countersign passports here
https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications/accepted-occupations-for-countersignatories
Please note, our Nurses will not countersign for a passport application either.
