British passport identity confirmation help

Hi, I know this is a long shot but does anyone have a profession listed on the gov website for passports identity verification? I am trying to get my son’s passport and just need the identity confirmation, everyone I know wasn’t eligible due to their profession and was wondering if any of you could help me out. I know that it has to be someone that knows me for at least 2 years but is there someone willing to make an exception if you meet the criteria? Thank you!

Isn’t there someone you see on regular that can? It’s an online link. Pharmacist or an optician?

@Dal nope, I literally have no one🥲

You can ask a solicitors any one and they will do it for you but just pay them £20 or something I did this and it worked

Your doctor

My best mate is a midwife I just asked her to fill n it went through

Asking strangers on the internet is literal fraud 😅 Anyone that agrees to it for you is an idiot.

@N 💞 agreed would not risk my professional registration for it. Your gp should be able to do it you may have to pay a small fee

@N 💞 @Naomi I understand your point of view but if I wasn’t desperate I wouldn’t ask strangers x I have no one that can help me and I didn’t know until after I applied that the person needs to be working in a recognised profession. They said until my application is complete and approved I won’t get my documents back, so if you can’t help me please don’t scare away people that are willing to. Thanks

@Naomi ridiculous isn’t it! Also, gp’s cannot do it, I found that out this week!

@Gabriela you don’t have a dentist or a nurse at your registered practises?

@N 💞 really ? Mine done ours last week but we’re NI so maybe it’s up to practices etc and he’s also our neighbour so knows us well !!

@N 💞 they said they can’t do it.

@N 💞 I don’t know if they can’t actually do it or if they are just not willing to do it for me.

The professional needs to know you personally it says. The list is extensive if you run in those circles but not fair if you don’t. I’d call up the office and tell them you personally don’t know anyone inThose professions and what can you do. Like others have said, we professionals won’t risk our jobs for someone online

@Gabriela dentists are on the approved list of recognised occupations accepted by the gov to sign

@Naomi oh yea it’ll be cos he’s your neighbour, if they know you in a personal setting as well and their profession is gp it’s fine. Just can’t ask your gp randomly if you don’t know them otherwise

@Gabriela do you not have a job? Does your husband not have a job? Where there is a director or the company, manager, business owner?

@N 💞 yes just read that! Understandable to be fair! Can be tedious trying to get it done !!

@Dal it doesn’t impact your job, I understand your point but I am sure it doesn’t impact your job otherwise they would ask for someone if it had something to do with the job

@Gabriela it would impact your job if you were found out to have lied about knowing the person you signed for. It’s a legal document you can’t forge it!

Is there anyone that’s willing to help me? I have asked my manager and my husbands manager but they didn’t get approved either as they are working there but not owning the company.

I have just sent off for my sons passport and I am in the same predicament as you however when I called the advice line I was told that I could just ask a neighbour and if they don’t work in the professions listed I can just submit a form alongside it explaining you have literally nobody else you can ask and this was the only person. I don’t have the link available now but if you go onto the website you can find their advice line number and they can send you the link to put in with the application, I was actually told to use this if I couldn’t find anyone at all but I was told I can just use a neighbour that has known me for the amount of time. Not sure if it will be approved or denied yet as I didn’t send any additional information but we will see

@Shay please let me know your outcome x maybe if that works I will try to do it as well
