Passport Issue

ClaireHig

I have autism & don't socialise (only see family). Therefore I don't know anyone eligible to confirm my identity. I emailed this issue to the passport line, but they just refer me to the rules. I'm from England & have never been abroad. I don't get their illogical solution of allowing some random to confirm who I am, but not a GP/dentist who has access to my NHS/NI number etc.

Is there any way around this? I know I can't be the only one stuck in this situation. At 38 I was hoping I could at least see another country once in my life.

  • Hi. Do you have a job? Someone at work can sign it for you providing they've known you for two years. 

    Aside from that, is there a family friend (e.g. one of your parents' or siblings' friends) who's known you for that period of time?

    I hope you find a solution - it sounds very frustrating.
