Passport Signature

[foodie69]

Can I change the signature once I receive the passport? I always wanted to change my signature but didn’t change at the time of application because I didn’t want to conflict with my PR signature. I signed same as it is on my ID’s and PR signature for smooth processing.

Sure..it is YOUR signature.

I would suggest to write the address part on the passport with pencil if the person stays in a rented place and plans to move in near future. Parents please do not sign the child passport as it will be invalid and you will need to apply for a new one.

Is it ok fill page 4 of passport with Pencil ? There is nothing mentioned on the website.

Also can I fill the Emergency Contact of someone out of Canada , or it has to be within Canada only?

Well I have filled in pencil since I am currently living in rental apartment. Better to keep emergency contact of someone in Canada.

Hi Everyone,

Is it normal to receive multiple packages from passport Canada? I mailed our application for three people and only received back a passport for my wife. Still waiting for mine and my son’s. Was not sure if I should wait or call them. Thanks

I got my Canadian passport recently, and signed it on page 3. However, this signature looks slightly different than my regular signature (the last 2 letters look squeezed), i was nervous when signing. So do you think this can cause a problem or questioning for me when travelling? shall i apply for a new passport because of this mistake?

I don't think you'll face any issues. Signature is nowadays not really a security feature.

Thanks a lot Jickson for your prompt reply,
my only concern is that if at the borders they will compare my passport signature with the signature I used when filling-up the passport application (which I put in the square), they will notice there will be a slight difference in the last 2 letters. Do you know if they compare both?

Thanks
