When I was Station Officer in fire service I could certify passport photo's amd it would be accepted by the powers that be. I was recently asked to certify a friend's photo ID, not passport or driving license, and did so, but it was not accepted as I am now a 'retired' fire officer.
Does anyone know if as a CMIOSH would my certifying a new passport photo be accepted.

I know I could have done that search but wanted to know if people actually do it and accepted so thanks to both of you.

I have also countersigned passport photos in the past & have never had any comebacks (I did check it out first!)

I used to when I was an established civil servant. Now, I am not sure if I count as a professional since I never wear a suit to work!

I have done it recently, but as a director of a VAT registered company. There are all sorts of qualifiers now.
No longer does it have to be your Dr who you saw once a year for 5 mins, who would then charge you £20 to countersign your photo

Ah! That is the sign of a true professional: someone who sees you for 5 minutes and charges £20 for the privilege!

People who aren’t accepted
Your countersignatory can’t:
- work for HM Passport Office
- be a doctor, unless they state that they know you well (eg good friend) and that they recognise you easily from your photo

So at last, a bit of common snese has prevailed. Just because they are a professional doesn't mean that they can sign pics off..

You can go to a high street photo shop and they will take pics, give you paper and e copies and upload them and verify them for official purposes such as passport, it costs about a tenner.
