Counter Signing Passports
I now a nurse is one of the people who can counter sign a passport, but does it have to be someone who is currently working as a nurse? Thanks.

Here's the internal document which passport staff must refer to:
https:/ /www.go v.uk/go vernmen t/uploa ds/syst em/uplo ads/att achment _data/f ile/118 585/cou ntersig natorie s.pdf
You'll see that it says: "NOTE: An unemployed person who has appropriate credentials is not precluded from countersigning an application".
i.e. it's checkable qualifications that are relevant, not the current occupation (or lack of it) of the person. (I've countersigned passport applications, on the basis of my teaching qualifications, since leaving the profession. Similarly Sherrardk, for example, could also do so).
