Name on back of passport photo

[Tim and Erin 3]

Is it a big deal if my fiance's name is written in ink? Is this a big "no no" or not? I read somewhere that it's supposed to be in pencil.

I just did this last week, and from what I remember, the instructions say to write the name 'with pencil or a felt-tipped pen', so pen is ok. Think they just want to make sure it doesn't press or bleed through.

I wrote some in pencil and some in pen and was fine. As mentioned above I think the key is to press gently.

I pressed really hard with my pen but they were still accepted, I think I got off lucky HAHA. But yeah, use either a pencil or use a pen but write softly so the picture does not have indents.

i always used these, permanent and won't erase or bleed after they dry.
