proffesional signiture

My passport was stolen and I need a proffesional or teacher etc to sign my pictures. Ive only been here 3 weeks and dont know anyone. I am in the malaga area if anyone can help.

Have you tried getting in touch with the British Consulate in Malaga?

Harry speak to the consulate.  You appear to have a problem as the person must have known you for two years  .

Who you can ask to be your countersignatory

Your countersignatory should:

• have known you for at least two years
• live in the UK

Your countersignatory should not:

• be related to you by birth or marriage
• be in a personal relationship with you
• live at the same address as you
• work for the Identity and Passport Service

Hi Johnzx

I have spoken to the british embassy and because i have only been in spain for 3 weeks they only need someone to verify my photos are a true likeness.

If someone can please helpn I understand there may be a fee to pay.

In order to sign your photograph and verify it as a true likeness, the person signing it would have to know that you are who you say you are.!!

Do you have a bank account in Spain?

Could the manager help you?

Hope you get this sorted.

Hi Johnyx.

Of course I have been to the consulate and they are not allowed to do it!

I KNOW THE WHOLE THING IS RIDICULOUS.

Maybe you can sign and put me out of my mysery..

Yours in exasperation Harry

See note 6 Section 8 and note7 of the guidance notes below;

Passport applications can be countersigned by a non-Brit provided they hold a level of competency equal to that of the UK.

I renewed mine via the Madrid Office of the UK Embassy just last year, The countersignature was that of my Spanish bank manager and was held to be acceptable.

Send your completed passport application to someone you do know in the UK, ask them to countersign the photos and forward on your application to the passport office. 

No-one in their right mind is going to pretend to have known a complete stranger for 2 years, especially on a document like a passport. 

 thank you Foxbat and everyone else that answered.

All I wanted was a proffesional to sign a picture of me and stating it was a true likeness of me.

I had done all the research.

Luckily a very kind retired nurse helped me.
