Passport signature
 
Hi can anyone help please? I have signed my passport but didn't realise it should be on the line. I have signed it within the box but above the line do you think this will be OK?

Not all passports have a "signature box" - some just have a "signature line. So, first question is - What country issued your passport?

Second question - How far "above the line" is your signature?

I suspect it is not a major issue since most people & officials who will be looking at your passport are just checking to see if it is signed and won't really know the specific requirements of your particular issuing agency.

It is UK issue. I have signed in middle of the box

Some people sign with a 'X'. So I don't see why you should be pestered.

Unless they've changed, the UK passports I've seen just have a small blank area (maybe what you are calling a 'box') with a line at the bottom. I honestly don't see what your issue is. It is a blank area to sign -- precisely on the line, or in the blank area above it???
