Default Ink on Photopraphs - Issues!!!

Well this is probably going to sound ridiculous but here goes anyway
Got to go deliver my passports tomorrow and got the photo's done as specified
but now the writing on the back with non ball point pen - the ink just NEVER
dries - help!!! luckily I tried this on a spare photo to check!
Any advice greatly received. I'm guessing good old biro has been used by others but just making sure.

Er, the stuff in Biros is ink. The vast majority of people use them. I have not used my fountain pen in years.

The first line of your post was correct.

I bought a "Staedtler" permanent dry safe (fine nib) and it worked fine with no problems at all.

Dried straight away

Good Luck

Thankyou for that.
I scoured WH Smiths got a Stabilo Permanent fine point pen and it's perfect. Just need to get them there now.
