I would think it's a joke but once literally had an office clerk in Germany scratching with fingernail my signature to check whether it's by pen and in the right color.

There's a reason why Kafka wrote his novels in German.

Because he was German Bohemian? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudeten_Germans#Austria-Hungar...)

Signatures that can be erased easily aren't a great fit for a legally binding document.

For more information, you can check whether the ink complies with DIN ISO 12757-2 and/or read up on "Dokumentenechtheit" [1]

Apparently my every signature ever has been ISO compliant without me even knowing about that norm.
