Hello, I am from America and got my dual citizenship to Malta but I am having trouble getting my passport. I am filling out that Biometric Passport Form A, and in section 8 it states that they want a recommender to sign it and stamp it. I didn't know what a recommender was so I called up the Maltese Consulate of New York. They told me that the recommender could be any notary. However, the form clearly states, "I, the recommender (insert your full name and surname) certify that to my best knowledge and belief, the statements made in this application are true and that I have known the applicant for at least 2 years." The form clearly states that I have to have known the recommender for at least two years but since I don't personally know any notaries for that long then I didn't know how I could get them to sign it. When I asked the Maltese Consulate of New York how I could get it signed, they told me that any notary would sign and stamp it. However, when I went to my bank to get it signed and notarized, the notary wouldn't sign it because she didn't know me for two years like the form stated. I told this to the people at the consulate and they never head of a person having difficulty getting it signed before. They are driving me crazy because it seems that they can't understand the same form that they wrote. Does anyone know how I could get that form signed and stamped if I don't know any notaries personally?
