Hey guys,

I have a quick question. I am about to submit my citizenship application. At the back of the passport photos, they have the name of the studio, address of the studio, date the pictures were taken, my full name and signature. The issue I am having is the date on one of the pictures. The date looks like the stamp tool didn’t have enough ink so the year is not legible. The date is fine on one of the passport but not on the other (the 0 on the first 2020 looks smudged. Will that be an issue ? As previously pointed Out, the issue is only on one.

Hello!

For me it wouldn't be an issue because 2 photos are similar. The date can be clearly seen on the other one so I don't see this as a problem.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. I’m also assuming it should be okay seeing as the other one is quite clear. I’ll put the receipts from Staples( that’s where they were taken) just in case. It shows the same date.

Hi,

could you help me please? Would it be an issue if there is a stamp only on the one photo? I visited today a photographer and he insisted to put his stamp only on one piece of photo, reportedly cic need the other one empty but I didn’t find it in the instructions.
Thanks

Hi, I am facing the same issue. Were your photos with only one photo stamped accepted? Thank you!
