Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to extend the list of accepted occupations for counter signatories of passports.

The current list of recognised professions is set out in guidance here: Confirming ID: referees (accessible) - GOV.UK. The guidance explains that these are examples of accepted professions rather than a definitive list. Similar professions will be considered.

Customers can call the Passport Adviceline if they have questions about a passport application.
