Yes,when you pick up the application form for renewal at the Post Office,the notes attached describe in detail what you have to do.

I renewed my passport in January, did not have to have the photo countersigned, also downloaded the application form.Advised not to keep specs on for photo.
On returning to Birmingham earlier this month they have the machines to take the new passports.
I used the old way due to OH having the old style passport.

After a little thought,I do concede that my renewal late last year included replacing my old photo with a new different one,hence it required countersigning.
My apologies for providing incorrect information.

No, I was in the UK for a couple of months so i renewed whilst there and used a family friend who I'd used before.

My photos were different, old one I had specs on & curly hair, new one straight hair & as asked no specs., still did not have them countersigned.

Renewed ours in Liverpool when we went back to England for Holiday and didn't have them countersigned.
