Countersign

Post by nehalbhagat » Mon Jul 08, 2013 1:48 pm

Hi,

Is it possible to fill countersign details by myself and leave sign and passport number part for countersignee to fill ?

I have her name, address and contact detail so I have filled it on her behalf leaving her to fill passport and sign .

Will IPS cancel my application ?

kindly advise
Thanks

No, the person countersigning has to fill in their details themselves.

You're welcome.

Though I don't see why you didn't just phone the passport advice line in the first place instead of making a thread and then ignoring the advice given. Would have been a lot quicker. ;)

And in my humble opinion, despite what the passport office says, it seems a bit risky filling in the countersignature section yourself, seeing as the countersignature is used to help verify your identity. But that's just my opinion. Good luck! :)

Any particular reason you want to do this on behalf of the counter signatory and s/he can't complete on his own?
