However, in some countries - maybe most notably in the United Kingdom - applications by post are the norm, and the authenticity of the photo is only confirmed by a so-called 'professional person' who has known the applicant for at least two years.
Ent mõnes riigis - ehk kõige enam Ühendkuningriigis - on tavaline saata taotlused postiga ja foto ehtsust kinnitab ainult niinimetatud asjatundja, kes on tundnud taotlejat vähemalt kaks aastat.
