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

- you’re in a relationship with them or live together
- you work for HM Passport Office
