The latest version of the application form asks the countersignatory to enter their current British pbuttport number (Irish pbuttport numbers are also acceptable). This is necessary to enable us to check idenbreasty.
You should give the countersignatory your complete application together with photographs, documents fee and envelope, so that they can seal the application after completing section 10. (In the case of a child section 10 should be signed by someone of the relevant standing who has personally known the person who signs the declaration at section 9 rather than the child).
