New passport signed in blue pen!

[madasamarchhare]

Anyone else done this. So excited to receive new passport it’s been signed in a blue pen rather than the stated black! Anyone else done this? I will ring the passport office to see if I need to get it reissued but anyone who’s travelled with one like this may be able to reassure me in the meantime?

Huh, is it a U.K. passport? You don’t don’t sign uk passports after receiving them

Oh, just found out that you do, can’t recall doing that but I guess I must have

Go over the signature in black pen?

Since when do we sign our passports? Don’t they scan our signature?

And what’s exciting about a blue passport when we could have had blue ones when we were part of the EU.

What an appalling waste of money when hospitals and schools crumble.

Just go over it on black pen because it has to be black to scan.

Who signs their passports?

She doesn’t mention it being a blue passport. She says it’s a new passport.
She’s just excited (probably used lightheadedly) about its arrival. Not regarding its colour

Everyone who doesn't have a passport with a digital signature

I just got a new passport renewal as my other one went out of date. They are still same colour just not an EU passport and yes you do have to sign them when u receive them.. i applied for mine online so never signed any paper work beforehand

I received mine last week and it's maroon and you have to sign it in black. I live abroad , so did it all on line. I also lost nearly 6 months as you have to have at least 6 months on it if we leave Europe. Mine would have run out next February, but it's renewed from mid October. It's a 9.5year passport.
