If you do not know a British national or other Commonwealth citizens with these qualifications, a Philippine citizen may complete and sign the form, provided he/she has a similar standing in the Philippines and has known you for two (2) years. A member of your family should not countersign.

Passport Photographs:

Photo standards are very important. Applications may be delayed because of incorrect photos. Please see the Identity and Passport Service Guidance for full details: http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/apply...-standards.asp.

The one who countersigns your application should also write on the back of one of the photograph the words “I certify that this is a true likeness of ……” and add his/her signature and the date.

Most people get the visa care of the British Embassy so you must be special.
