Your electronic signature is your legally binding mark on a digital document. DocuSigner offers flexible ways to create and manage your signature.

Creating Your Signature During Account Setup

When you create your DocuSigner account, one of the final steps is setting up your signature. You typically have a few options:

• Draw: Use your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen to draw your signature directly on the screen.
• Type: Type your name, and DocuSigner will generate a signature for you in a selection of handwritten-style fonts.
• Upload: (If available) Upload a clear image of your physical signature (e.g., a .png file with a transparent background).

Once you're satisfied, save your signature. It will be stored securely with your profile.

Updating Your Signature

You can change or update your saved signature at any time from your account settings:

1. Navigate to Settings (usually accessible from your profile menu or the sidebar).
2. Find the "Profile" or "Signature" section.
3. You should see an option to "Update Signature" or "Change Signature."
4. You'll be presented with the same creation options (Draw, Type, Upload) to create your new signature.
5. Save the new signature to replace your old one.

Applying Your Signature to a Document

When a document requires your signature:

1. Open the document in DocuSigner.
2. Locate the signature field assigned to you. It will often be highlighted or prompt you to click.
3. Clicking the signature field will typically bring up your saved signature.
4. Confirm that you wish to apply this signature. In some cases, if you haven't set a signature or wish to use a different one for a specific document, you might be prompted to create/draw one on the spot.
5. Once applied, the signature, along with other relevant information like the date, will be embedded into the document.

Signature Appearance and Legality

While the visual appearance of your e-signature is important, its legal validity also depends on the security and audit trail associated with the signing process. DocuSigner is designed to capture intent, associate the signature with the specific record, and maintain a log of signing events.

Using DocuSigner, adding your signature is a simple and secure process, facilitating your digital agreements.
