i took the class this past weekend and the instructor didnt specify to use a felt tip pen.
so i (the whole class) wrote my name with a regular ball point pen.
will this affect the process of me getting my license?

We had that same question in our class & the instructor told us it didn't matter. When we did our fingerprints, the guy signed the backs with his regular ink pen too.

What about signing the photo that gets taped to the "Passport Photo Holder?" The pink sheet says not to sign, but the instructors had us sign both photos. Does anyone forsee this being a problem?

Thanks!

I just found my answer...should've read a few more posts down. Looks like I'm ok.

My neighbor had his CHL delayed because he signed the photo holder instead of the back of his photo. He had to submit a signed one at that point, and his 60 day issuance window timer was reset back to zero, but he received his completed license a couple of weeks after that.

Excaliber,

Are you refering to the black line at the bottom of the page? It's my understanding that is for your signature, which will be on the ID itself. Is that not correct?

My neighbor told me the issue was with a missing signature on the back of his passport size photo itself, not the signature line on the application form.

Thanks for clarifying.

I was told the Felt Tip kept indentations from forming on the front side of the picture from pressing down with a ball point.

Yep. I think that's the only real factor. Sharpie Ultra Fine Point pens are primo for this purpose.
