Can you print your signature?

Traditionally, signatures are in cursive, but it can be argued that it's not a requirement. This means that with a wet signature (i.e. a signature that is written rather than electronically typed), a person could potentially use their printed (non-cursive) name or even a symbol like a happy face as a valid signature.

Can you legally print your signature?

English says there is no legal requirement that a signature needs to be written in cursive. You can print your name. So, what about the separate signature and print lines on forms? English says that's a practical business requirement — so someone can correctly read what you wrote.

Can your signature be anything?

Usually, a signature is simply someone's name written in a stylized fashion. However, that is not really necessary. The signature can be made by anything that marks the paper. Pencil is not favored because it can smudge and be erased, but a signature made with a pencil is equally valid as a signature in pen.

What does print signature mean?

A printed name is simply the name written out so that people can read it (signatures might not be easy to read, so sometimes people will ask for both). A signature is often written in cursive, it's the individual's own way of writing their name for things like contracts, checks, etc.

Very handy application for filing in multiple similar forms. It's easy-to-use and can be accessed from whatever machine I happen to be at.... like I said, very handy.

This site is truly amazing. I am a 66 years old Vietnam Veteran and Retired U.S, Marine. Currently filing for PTSD and was able to fill out the VA form exceptionally easy. I purchased a 1 year subscription, in that I felt it would be worth it in the future. I wish this site had a method of informing others about the services. I searched the web and stumbled across this site. Further, I initially had questions and was able to speak to a live person. His attitude and willingness to help, sold me and I purchased the services. Once again, Thanks. Doug U.S. Marine Corps, Retired.

It took a while to begin to understand how this works. I would definitely like to attend a webinar to learn more about it. After I fill in all these forms I send you, how do I save them to my computer? Thanks, Joyce Wicks
