Although there's no mention on the printout forms, it does state on the website that if there's not much difference between the old and new photos there is no need for a counter signature. We shall see.

Yeah, I skipped over #27 (and 31) cos I thought it was about universities...
All sounds a bit hit and miss this "if it looks similar" lark......good luck!

My two already had US passports and we sent those with the UK applications.

Okay, that was what I wanted to know. So my next question would be, why are you applying for British passports? I don't know if I should be doing the same.

Therefore, our dual citizen kids need to have British passports to show that they don't need visas to reside in the UK.
