Applying for baby’s first passport? You’ll need two signed baby passport photos before you can apply online or through a service like the Post Office Check and Send.<\/p>\n
When do I need to get child passport photos signed?<\/p>\n
If you’re applying for a first passport for a baby or child, or a passport renewal for a child under 11, then you’ll need to have the photos countersigned. This helps to prove the identity of the person applying for the passport.<\/p>\n
Can I get a relative to sign?<\/p>\n
No you can’t. The person who signs the photos can’t be related by marriage or birth. They mustn’t be in a relationship with you or even live at the same address.<\/p>\n
So who can sign a baby passport photo?<\/p>\n
The person who signs must:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Have known the applicant for at least two years
\n\u2022 Be able to identify them as a friend or neighbour
\n\u2022 Be of good standing in the community
\n\u2022 Live in the UK and hold a British or Irish passport<\/p>\n
Don’t panic – in the case of baby passport photos, the person signing needs to have known you, not your baby, for two years. That means you can ask a close work colleague or friend to do the job as long as they’ve worked in, or are retired from, one of the recognised professions<\/a>.<\/p>\n Does that mean I can ask my doctor?<\/p>\n Only if they can recognise you from your photo and know you as a friend. You can’t ask anyone who works for the passport office, either.<\/p>\n OK, I’ve found someone. Now what do I do?<\/p>\n They’ll need to write the following phrase on the back of one of your baby passport photos, along with the date and their signature:<\/p>\n \u2018I certify that this is a true likeness of [title and full name of adult or child who is getting the passport].\u2019<\/p>\n So where do I get baby passport pictures again?<\/p>\n With Paspic<\/a> you can take your baby passport photos at home and then have them sent to locations all over the world.
