Authority figures, Irish style
As part of my Irish passport application, I need to have my signature “witnessed by one of the following persons who is not a relative: Police Officer, Member of Clergy, Medical Doctor, Lawyer, Bank Manager/Assistant Manager, Public Representative, Notary Public/Commissioner for Oaths, Peace Commissioner, School Principal/Vice Principal or Accountant.”
I wonder how getting one of my Universal Life Minister friends to do it would go over (ya gotta love a web form with an “Ordain Me” button.)
I saw a bumper sticker here in Berkeley yesterday that said “I love my country, but I think we should see other people.” If I’d seen the phrase in time, I’d’ve used it as the title for the entry announcing my Irish citizenship.
Mr. O'Lopez, is that you?
Canadian passports have to have the photograph attested to a "guarantor" who is one of the following:
chiropractor, judge, magistrate, lawyer, notary, mayor, doctor, dentist, minister authorized to perform marriages, optimetrist, college administrator, pharmacist, police officer, postmaster, school principal, professional accountant, engineer, or veterinarian. They have to have known you for two years.

My family dropped the "O'". Too ethnic.
I think Canada wins the odd collection of authority figures event.
