The witness has put their signature in the name bit and vice versa. I'm presuming the deed poll is useless now?

Thanks MissMalace.
The passport office didn't like the free one I did sigh.

Did you print it off on fancy paper or card or such?

No, just 10p library paper.

Mine only had one witness and was on normal paper.

It is proper! Ask to speak to a manager, that stuff really annoys me.
