Default Who can countersign passport application

We are applying for babies UK passport but the form asks for JP, Mp Dr etc to countersign the form. It states though that they should have known us for 2 years. We do not know anyone since we have only been here 1 year. Can anyone else do it?

Thanks

Here are the details with a list of who can sign. As for the two year rule, there is a number you can call for advice:

I'm sure your children's doctor would be acceptable.

Yes - I had the same problem, and the man over the road, was a fully qualified Engineer, so he signed for me. Best wishes Don

Embassy should accept 1 yr if you have only been living in the USA that time.
