Yes that section is on the back of the application this is a different sectionDoes it not have to be witnessed by a garda and stamped with the garda station stamp?
The section you are talking about is witnessing of the parents consent form.
Each parent must have their signature witnessed to ensure that no parent gets a passport for a child behind the back of the other parent.
The form makes clear who can act as a witness. I think it is a lawyer, member of the clergy, school principal, garda, Doctor, accountant, Peace commisioner.
Read the section at the top of that page carefully and it should be clear.
Thanks seen it and a Garda can sign both
It does not state who can sign this, it only states persons where one of parents is deceased,
