FI’ve realized that the signature on my passport is different from the one on my PAN card. I’ve already submitted my documents, and my Schengen visa interview is in about 10–12 days. Could this mismatch be an issue? If so, is there any quick fix or solution you’d recommend? Any help would be really appreciated!

I**What you don’t need to do**
Do not try to update your PAN or passport at this stage — it won’t be processed in 10–12 days.
if everything else in your application is in order and your identity is clearly established, most visa officers will accept a reasonable explanation.
**Quick Fixes**
Passport is the primary identity document for visas, so the signature on your passport usually takes precedence.
For the interview and any visa documents that require a signature, always sign exactly as it appears on your passport.
**Additional Steps**
Bring another official ID (like Aadhar or driving licence) if it matches either signature — to further support your identity if asked.
Also, carry a brief one-page declaration letter (Just in Case) stating that both are your signatures, sign it twice — once as per your PAN card, and once as per your passport, to show both are yours.
