How do I sign my electronic documents?
DocHub is a free application (one of many options available) you can use to sign or edit your electronic documents. To use this document signing platform go to DocHub.com and make an account. Click on SETTINGS then click on SIGNATURES and choose NEW under the signatures box. From there you can follow the prompts for creating your signature with your mouse on the computer OR on your phone. When you are done you can download a document and paste your signature/initial directly onto the form and size it however needed. Your signature and initials will be saved in DocHub so you can use this signature again and again. You can also add this an extension if you would like.
