Having recently gained full membership and professional status, a close friend has inquired if I could countersign his passport photo/identity; not sure if I am now in a position to do this, has any other full members assisted friends with this request? Just like to know my position.......

Passport Countersigning
That's good to know, much appreciated!0 -
I have heard alot saying once you gain the status of FMAAT they say you can sign passport.0

It's irrellevant - you need to be of good social standing (teacher, solicitor, shop manager, accountant etc), not a certain qualification.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
