blossom Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm getting ready to apply for my citizenship and have come across a stumbling block. I don't know anyone of any of the professions on the list of people who can confirm your identity, let alone one who's known me for a year. I know a teacher, but they are casual so ruled out. What on earth do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHeart Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Can you ask your GP or pharmacist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't have a gp, I don't get sick so just see whatever dr for smears etc. None would even remember me. Same with pharmacists. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHeart Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Do you know any nurses? Got any children in school? Have a lawyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nope, no children, no nurses, no lawyer. Who would have thought it was so hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHeart Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Oh dear. There must be a way...but I dont know what it is. Sorry blossom. We asked a nurse friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Is there a way like in the UK where you go to a magistrate or some such who even if they don't know you, can sign? Need other ID and stuff to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 What about an optometrist? We asked OH's business partner who is an optometrist and whom has known us and the children since we arrived in Australia, but even if you don't know them personally they should be able to do it for you.

blossom Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It says they must have known you for a year. My last eye test was less than a year ago and I can't even remember the optometrist. I can't imagine they would agree to saying they had known me for a year. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I would be inclined to phone your doctors and ask if someone there would sign it. They may not know you by sight but they are likely to be able to confirm you are you through their records and then it's just a matter of signing to say you look the same as the person in the pic (if that makes sense).

AJ Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I phoned DIBP and asked that question, they said the person signing could also sign a Stat dec to say they hadnt known you for a year but it was definately you. Give them a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
