The recognised profession bit makes sense but who decides if you're an upstanding member of society or not?
That's the arguable bit

I can't use this as I'm abroad.
You can use the normal online renewal. I'm in Germany & used it it June. Just follow the applicable links on the application pages; 'renewing from overseas'. From applying online & posting the old passport to the new passport returning, was a total of 12 days for me. I considered a trip over but due to costs, not to mention I couldn't fit an Albion game in, I renewed online.
Thanks for everyone’s input and kind offers to get me the application forms etc. I got my new passport on Friday and it’s was a very straight forward process.
