Passport applications (please help!)

[Sugerbones]

My passport applications have been filled in and signed twice now and everytime something seems to go wrong. I've just recieved them back from the counter-signer and I'm a bit concerned that these ones will be rejected.

Basically her signature is within the box but a flick of the pen on the end of the signature has very slightly and faintly gone into the orange border surrounding the box, it says to keep within the border or the applications will not be valid...does anyone know if this very slight pen flick will cause them to be rejected again?

I darnt ask her to sign them again, I feel bad enough already!

do you have a friendly face at your local post office who might be able to tell you if it will be rejected for this,mind that it is one that offers the checking service

Agreed - I wouldn't go in on a Saturday as they'll be dead busy, but if you can find a moment next week just to go and ask them, I doubt they'll be dogmatic enough to insist on their 4 quid to check the app form, just to tell you whether the signature will cause it to be rejected and you need to do it again.

As a courtesy, though, if they're helpful, I would take the app form to them for processing when it's ready.
