I needed my newborn son's passport countersigned, so I asked an old colleague of mine, who used to be a solicitor. He had already signed 3 adult and 2 child passports for his other friends so I thought nothing of it.
Passport arrived, no issues.
Got a phone call from him inviting me out to a meal to celebrate his new job, during course of said meal, it emerged he isn't a solicitor as he never completed the course, only the degree, and thus shouldn't have written solicitor on the form. He's now working in a car dealership.
Booked a holiday for Sept. What are the chances of me being stopped at the airport due to this? And if so, will I be arrested?
I dont want to get him in any trouble for this as I think it was a genuiine misunderstanding as he does have a degree so he does have professional qualification. But I am worried, incase they decide to check the passport.
What shall I do, is it worth phoning passport office and cancelling the passport and then reapplying?
