We often get this question from clients when we send them documents to sign:

“What color pen should I use—black, blue, red… pink?”
(We’re kidding about the pink—please don’t use pink!)

According to USCIS instructions, signatures must be in black ink. While dark blue ink is sometimes accepted, black ink is always the safest and most reliable choice.

Using the correct ink color is not just a formality—it helps avoid delays, processing issues, or even rejections of your application. To stay on the safe side, always pick up a black ink pen and sign with confidence.

✅ Quick Summary:

• Use black ink for all USCIS forms.

• Dark blue may occasionally be acceptable, but black is the safest bet.
