Elegran if you re read the post you’ll see that I signed before reading the leaflet.

River walk. Is your passport one of the new type with the chip encrypted symbol on the bottom of the front cover. These have a different page format inside.

"On the line" is a fairly general instruction, meaning not in any other part of the page. It doesn't have to be actually touching the line, just near it.

I've just checked mine and it's about 1/2" above the line.

Signing slightly above makes it clearer - and I've had no problem with it for the past four or so years!

Hallo ladies.
Does anyone have knowledge of or has signed a passport not in the exact place ie. not on the line.
My new passport arrived with a leaflet that said on the front in bold letters SIGN YOUR PASSPORT IMMEDIATELY. I did. I then read the leaflet which said to sign on the line.
My signature is about 1/2” above the line. I’m worried in case I get to the airport and it is rejected. I have no immediate plans to travel by the way.
I rang the passport office and they were no help at all. Thought one or two of you good ladies may have an answer!
