Passport photo

[tamborine]

Can't the bank teller or business proprietor sign as witness to my passport photo; so far they've said no ? Its too much faff to appoint my GP.

[bednobs]

has the bank teller known you for 2 years?

[bednobs]

re business prop they have to be:
director/manager of a VAT-registered charity
director/manager/personnel officer of a VAT-registered company
And have kniown you for 2 years

[tamborine]

Yes, I see them daily.

No. A bank teller isn`t a professional person anyway. They`d spend half their time signing photos for members of the public if they provided that service. They have to know you personally as well.

[johnk]

Do you know a teacher, policeman, accountant, or suchlike.

[tamborine]

Never seen my GP as I changed last year.

[bednobs]

perhaps they just don't want?

[The Builder]

I seem to remember the landlord of my local signing mine.

[tamborine]

bednobs - the bank girls are being pedantic; their signatures have been used before. Dont know any of Johnk or builders list.

How about Abers ?

[237SJ]

When you say their signatures have been used before, do you mean they signed your passport photo before? If it`s a passport renewal, you don`t need the photo signed.

[bednobs]

I have posted a link to the list. Perhaps you smell or they don't like you?

[ummmm]

Got a local shop?

The landlord of my local does mine but you can get them done in the shop as well.

[tamborine]

local shops are asian or Tesco. Phoned PpOffice, they say anyone with Brit PP & quote their PP number on photo. PP office is 09 phone; I dread the bill.

[delphfolk]

do you have kids if so get the head teacher to sign it they must know you

[B00]

Use one of these!

[ummmm]

Like an Asian corner shop? Same as my local shop?

[bednobs]
