Passport identity confirmation

[GoldenS]

Hi can my aunties husband confirm my identity for passport application or does he count as a relative? And if he can't what should I do if I don't know anyone who can?

Your passport referee must be a professional or person of good standing in the community and not related to you through blood or through marriage. Aunty husband is related to your marriage.

This is very clearly stated on the gov.uk website.

What can I do if I don't know anyone who fits the requirements?

Then you’re not eligible to receive a passport (which is a privilege, not a right).

A passport for a citizen is a privilege?

What about the professional referee you used for your citizenship application? Were they British?

They weren't

You need to find someone who is on the list and is British.

A passport for a citizen is a privilege?

At least in the UK and Canada, they are not a right. Indeed, most countries around the world state that ID Cards and passports are property of the issuing government, not the person carrying the document.
