Passport counter signing Posted or Updated on 11 Oct 2023

Dear Patients,

Recent changes to UK passport rules mean we will no longer be able to countersign your passports. Below is an extract from the gov.uk website.

People who aren’t accepted

Your countersignatory can’t:

• work for HM Passport Office
• be a doctor, unless they state that they know you well (eg good friend) and that they recognise you easily from your photo
