British passport counter signatory and naturalisation refree

[Bobby123456]

Hi

I am applying for naturalisation and British passport together using nationality checking service am I correct in saying that I do not need to fill section 10 for countersignatory on passport form as I already have two referees in section 5 of AN naturalisation form.

Guys please advise as my appointment is in two days time can't find any reference to this anywhere and want to clear.

Many thanks

One of the two referees for your Naturalisation application should be a British citizen anyway. Why can you just get them to countersign the passport application at the same time if you are not sure?

If you are applying for them together through a JCAP participating council then you do not need to complete section 10. Many of the JCAP participating councils have updated their websites to reflect this. Suggest you contact the one you are applying through if in doubt. E.g.
