The person who signs section 10 of your application form should also certify one (not both) of the photographs by writing on the back as follows:
‘I certify that this is a true likeness of [Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms or other title followed by your full name].’
They must then sign and date the statement as well. It is not enough just to sign and date the photograph.
The photograph must be certified by someone who has known the person signing section 9 personally for at least two years.
You need to get your form countersigned and a photograph certified only if your appearance has changed so much that it would be difficult to recognise you from the photograph in your last or current passport.
