Passport counter-signatory dance - help!

[lnr]

Hmm, I need to find someone who:

• Has known me for at least 2 years
• Can identify Matthew
• Has a current British or Irish passport (and can find the passport number)
• Is not related to me by birth or marriage
• Is on the passport office's list of people in a profession or of good community standing

Anyone immediately want to volunteer? It would probably help if you live near enough to sign it in person too, though we could use the post if absolutely necessary.

I also need to get passport photos done, but that's another issue!

Much sympathy: this is why Andreas only has an Irish passport which is easier! But not really helpful for you.

Yeah, for an Irish passport I'd need to get hold of the long form of my birth certificate (I only seem to have the short one), the long form of my *dad's* birth certificate, get myself an Irish one, and then get Matthew one ;)

I'm sure we'll find someone really, it's just a bit frustrating that IT professionals (who I know by the bucketload) aren't an obvious fit for their list!

I could wait until January, then borrow one of the teachers from my NCT group - but I've already paid now (using their new-fangled online application!)
