Question

I have to download documents, fill them out and sign them. How do I set up a signature on my computer?

Answer 1

Adding a signature font would not be considered proof that you signed the document. The only way to ensure that you signed the document would be to set up a digital signature and have the recipient download your public key (learn more:www.pgp.com) The need for a handwritten signature is so that there is biometric evidence that you and only you signed the document. A digital signature is electronic evidence that the document came from you, through e-mail, but still not biometric evidence showing your signature. I know that in realestate transaction they will let you fax your signature during the escrow stage, but you must present the originals when you close.



Good luck!

Answer 2

What I do - and have never had any problems with - is once you complete the form (and if you are working on it with Microsoft Word) go up into your font list and pick one that is a cursive style. Change to that font on the signature line of the document and type your name in. If you want to experiment before actually using it on your document(s) simply open a blank page and experiment with different fonts. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Do you mean like a handwritten signature? You could sign a sheet of paper, scan it and keep adding it to your documents. I don't know if that can be taken as a legit signature though!
