Confirm someone’s identity online for a passport application

Who can confirm someone’s identity

You’ll get an email from HM Passport Office if someone applying for a passport has asked you to confirm their identity.

You need to follow a different process if you’ve been asked to sign printed photos (called ‘countersigning’).

You can only confirm someone’s identity if you:

• are 18 or over
• live in the UK
• have a current UK passport
• have known the person applying for at least 2 years (this is the adult making the application if the passport is for a child under 16)
• know the person applying as a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally)

You must work in (or be retired from) a ‘recognised profession’. For example:

• accountant
• airline pilot
• articled clerk of a limited company
• assurance agent of recognised company
• bank or building society official
• barrister
• chairman or director of a limited company
• chiropodist
• commissioner for oaths
• councillor, for example local or county
• civil servant (permanent)
• dentist
• director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company
• engineer with professional qualifications
• financial services intermediary, for example a stockbroker or insurance broker
• fire service official
• funeral director
• insurance agent (full time) of a recognised company
• journalist
• Justice of the Peace
• legal secretary (fellow or associate member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs)
• licensee of a public house
• local government officer
• manager or personnel officer of a limited company
• member, associate or fellow of a professional body
• Member of Parliament
• Merchant Navy officer
• minister of a recognised religion (including Christian Science)
• nurse (RGN or RMN)
• officer of the armed services
• optician
• paralegal (certified paralegal, qualified paralegal or associate member of the Institute of Paralegals)
• person with honours, for example an OBE or MBE
• pharmacist
• photographer (professional)
• police officer
• Post Office official
• president or secretary of a recognised organisation
• Salvation Army officer
• social worker

Who cannot confirm someone’s identity

You cannot confirm someone’s identity if:

• you’re related by birth or marriage
• you’re in a relationship with them or live together
• you work for HM Passport Office
• you work for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) on British citizenship or right of abode applications
• you’re a doctor - unless you know the person who has asked you well (for example, you’re a good friend)
