Before 1994, what was the phrase found on the line where one signs their name on old passports?

The phrase that appeared on the line where one signs their name on old passports before 1994 was "Signature." This term was universally recognized and had clear instructions indicating that the individual needed to provide their signature in that location.

While "Sign here" and "Authorized Signature" would also imply the action of signing, they were not the standard terminology used prior to 1994. "Name (repeatedly)" implies a different action altogether, suggesting a repetition of the person's name rather than advising the signatory to provide their signature. Thus, the correct terminology directly aligned with the requirements for signing the passport was simply "Signature."
