Thumb Impression on Passport

[singhyogeshkumar]

Hi Guys,

I am applying for my parents' tourist visa. My mother's passport has her thumb impression instead of a signature because she is illiterate.

Can you please advise what to do with the signature fields in the application forms. Is thumb impression allowed in forms? If not, what is the way out?

Thanks,
Yogesh

Your mom must sign her name, particularly for the Family Information form. Even a basic handwritten sign (you could teach her to write her name) will suffice.

You must not sign the forms like as if she is signing them because that would be forgery

If they sign in, how they will recongize that's same person. Because I'm also in the same situation.Dont know what to do. My mom know how to sign. But passport, she used finger print as she couldn't get enough documents to prove that she's educated. Can you please tell me that how can I prove that's my.mom's signature if she signs n the family form?

You don't need to prove that the signature is your mom's. But, if someone else signs like as if your mom has signed then that is forgery. You can teach your mom to sign. It could be a basic signature or maybe how to write her name
