Blue Ink on Passport Application

[jsd]

Well my passport application is all filled out and ready to be submitted (I've even made the interview time :mrgreen

However..... the person who has witnessed on of my parent's signitures has done so in BLUE ink :shock:

Is that not good, has anyone had trouble with this before at all?, I'm quite annyoed now as we have had to will it out twice now, and I really don't wan't to do it again


Any thoughts/ideas on a fix?

They are very strict about this.

Whilst the Passport Office prefers that an application is completed in black pen, a form partially completed in blue pen may be accepted if when photocopied the information can be clearly read.

If the application is not completed in black ink, the information on the application may not be read properly when scanned into the computer. Applications not completed in black ink may be delayed or need to be completed again.

To ensure there are no unnecessary delays, we suggest you complete the application again using a black pen

Now you could get them (or yourself) to write over the blue ink with black, but it needs to be initialed, and might not then be accepted because of that.
