I don't think they really look at the signature, just the photo?

I have been and looked at my new passport where I signed it. It is just a faint line to indictate where you should sign. My signature has gone below it in several places due to the letters in my name. I've traveled on it with no issues. It's not like signing it in the old way where it had to be within the box on the application form for scanning purposes.

I signed mine in the wrong colour, have had no problems.

Passportloser · 06/05/2022 12:33

So I should be okay!

I once turned up with my passport - not my first trip with this particular passport - to be told to sign it there and then. Yes, nobody had even spotted on any of my previous trips that it was unsigned...

I forgot to sign mine and was asked to do it at the check in desk - I got all muddled and spelt my name wrong in the signature. Still hasn't been a problem!

Amazing 😂I once introduced myself by the wrong name if that's any consolation!

DH got told to sign his passport at the check in desk of our recent flight. He’d had it 2 years before anyone noticed 😮

Passportloser · 06/05/2022 16:18

Feeling a bit more positive! Still in a panic

That is brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣

harriethoyle · 08/05/2022 16:38

@PinkSyCo I honestly don't know what came over me. It was my first day at university and a chap introduced himself to me: "hi, I'm ollie" and I replied "hi I'm ollie too"... and then had NO IDEA what to do! 😂🙈

Where you meant to sign the passport? Off to find my passport now

honeylulu · 08/05/2022 17:03

My son signed his in the wrong place (middle of the page nowhere near the line). He phoned the passport office in a panic and they said it was fine.

LuckyTanya99 · 01/05/2023 21:59

Was yours ok? Mines thick as well and slight smudge

Mcc22 · 19/06/2023 23:32

Hey - have you had any issues? I just got a new signature with name changed after getting married and I have gone over it a few times as it looked bad and now it’s really thick and even worse - will this be a problem?

Mcc22 · 19/06/2023 23:33

Hey - did you have any issues with this?

ditalini · 19/06/2023 23:41

Nah, they won't care. Like pp, I turned up at the airport with an unsigned passport. They noticed at the gate and just told me to sign it on the plane.

They don't have anything to compare it to anyway.
