My passport was signed by an MAAT who wasn't even a MIP, technically I don't think that's allowed but they obviously didn't check!0

Pretty much anyone can sign these days (official guidance here) although the AAT think the main selling point to becoming a fellow member (FMAAT) is that you suddenly have the power to sign a passport application.0

I have signed several passports as MAAT and have even been checked once - no problems. However, I believe it is supposed to be FMAATs only.0

I’m happy to confirm that it has always been the case that any AAT licensed accountant can countersign a passport application providing they meet the Home Office requirements which are that;
• You have known the applicant for at least 2 years
• You believe that all the information the applicant has put on the form is true
• You live in the UK
• You have a British passport yourself
This is because accountancy is a “recognised profession”
You do NOT need to be a Chartered accountant.0
