strikker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 hi there,, I just wanted to ask this question about Pakistani Passport that the second page of the passport requires either a signature or thumb impression of the passport holder, with clear instructions that the passport is not valid without thumb impression or signature of the holder. I recently got a passport for my six months old daughter, and at this age neither can she sign nor does her thumbs have clear lines required for a thumb impression. I couldnt even find information for this on any website. Can anyone tell me what should I do in such a situation. I have to apply along with my family for British Visas soon and I am wondering what to do with this scenario of the passport of my baby Any authentic help please.

Bungo Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Is there nobody in your own country you can ask about getting a passport? Most people on this site are British and will be unfamiliar with Pakistani passport procedures for babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I assume yours isn't the first Pakistani baby to require a passport so they must have a process to deal with the need for fingerprints/signature. I'd call the embassy or passport office to ask them what's required. As long as a valid passport is issued, that should be sufficient for any visa application.

Quinkla Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I don't know about Pakistani passports, but we have travelled with our boys - the elder is now 15 and the younger is 10. The elder does have a signature in his Australian passport and has signed visa forms when applying for visas (e.g. Chinese visa, Cambodian visa). The younger does not have a signature in the passport (from memory it says signature not required in the signature space) and was not required to sign visa applications. I presume in a Pakistani passport, the thumb print is for adults who can't write. I can't imagine the absence of a thumb print in a six month baby's passport is going to cause any problems, especially not for British immigration purposes. If the passport was issued without a thumb print, it doesn;t look like it caused any issues for Pakistani authorities either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
