Passport

jcm

o    member, associate or fellow of a professional body

 
Countersigning passport applications and photos

 
o    If you are member, associate or fellow of a professional body
You can countersign passports. (Was there some sort of code to quote at one time either from IET or ECuk?)

If you’re applying in the UK


Your counter signatory must:
o    live in the UK
o    Have a current British or Irish passport.

 
My question is was there some sort of code to quote with your signature either from IET or ECuk (Do anyone remember what it was)?
My second question is an Irish resident can countersign a British Passport, can a UK citizen countersign for an Irish/EU Passport.

 
Only asking thinking of getting an Irish/EU passport, although UK gave them billions (and they are asking billions more to leave, already they are getting a bit iffy at the mainland EU airport when they see a UK passport ,queue slower, probably imagination but may as well join the million that have applied for Irish passport since Brexit. £80 it costs.
Make it easier to go straight through the “EU” only queue in the future.

 
(You can’t sign for yourself of course but want to sign for some else).

    I did read at the time I accepted IEng status that it carrys the same weight as CEng in the context of countersigning documents. I've not had any indication to the contrary. Looking at the passport website today, it simply lists "engineer - with professional qualifications" as one of the accepted signatories.




    That is my understanding too Alex.

    And in fact, ANY "member, associate or fellow of a professional body" can legitimately countersign a UK passport application - and in which case would state, such as say in the case of being an IET member, "Member of The Institute of Engineering & Technology" and this would suffice. And so being, it might be prudent to add one's membership number.
