Counter Signatory for Passport Application

[Amal77]

Could anyone kindly let me know do we need two referees for first British passport application after Naturalisation. Also what’s the difference between referee and counter signatory? Do we need a counter signatory in addition to referees? If I submit online application do I need any information from my referees/counter signatory about themselves to fill in the online application for first British passport?

Many thanks in advance
