Point 14 in checklist says 'Leave the 6th photo blank' but the photo studio has printed the date taken stamp on it. I didn't write the name and DOB on it.

Does this really matter or I need to take another copy?

thanks.

I hope not! All mine are stamped :)

I doubt this will be an issue. I've never heard of anyone having their app rejected because of a stamped photo ;)
 
Thank you! I know the question is bit silly but I was just wondering when they mentioned leave the 6th photo blank there may be a reason for that but yes you are right it wont be a rejection :)

There could well be a reason! I didn't notice it! If you want to be on the safe side you could have them done again, but they are expensive! I imagine if there is an issue they will tell you they need new photos, but I'd be surprised if it's an issue.

If anyone else has input, let us both know please ! :)
 
Oh yeh they are expensive! What stage is your application now?
 
How did this issue work out for you guys? I'm now in the same boat - the photo place stamped the back of all 6 photos and I only realised after I'd paid and left. I will only handwrite on 5 though...

Would prefer to not drop another $60 on reissuing these if it's not an application deal-breaker!
 
I had the same situation. All six photos were stamped but I only wrote on five of them. It's not a deal-breaker.
 
My girlfriend got all hers stamped and she got her MR last week. In my case, I left the sixth one blank and I also received AOR. So it does not seem to be an issue either way
 
Blank means that you don't have to write your birthday and full name. The stamp should go on it though. :)
 
Blank could also mean blank like in my case
 
Come on! Blank means what it means. If you got it passed, then it is not a big deal, right? Or maybe it is.
Anyways, you just got the AOR, not the PR. So maybe in few months they will ask you for the stamped photo. lol
 
Haha nope it isnt
 
take a wet tissue and then erase the stamp, that's what I did;

Stamped or not, make sure you don't write DOB or full name on the 6th photo.
By the way, I had mine blank without stamp and my wife's with it. 8) Thanks, messy London Drugs
