First, create a digital picture of your signature (in GIF or JPEG format) . Your institution may be able to help you with this, or you can use Interfolio's mouse2sig or fax2sig technology in the "My Signature" section.

Once you have an electronic version of your signature, save it to your desktop. You will need to insert the image into your letter before uploading to Interfolio.

To insert your signature into your letter, insert it as a "picture" or "image" into your document using your word processing software. Interfolio can show you how to do this: from the My Signature section, click on the “How to put a signature into a Word file" button. The system will detect the type of computer and browser you are using, and provide you with customized instructions on how to insert your signature. You can also consult the help section of the word processing software you're using.

If you don't have  a digital picture of your signature, Interfolio has two tools available to help you create one.

1. Fax2Sig

The Fax2Sig service converts a faxed copy of your signature into a digital image and places that image it into your Interfolio account.

Using the My Signature tab in your Interfolio account, click on the Fax2Sig button. Print out the Fax2Sig form, sign the form, and fax it back to Interfolio. We'll match the unique ID on the form with your account and your signature will be saved in your Interfolio account. Once your signature is in your account, you should save it to your desktop so you can insert it into your documents using the instruction above.

2. Mouse2Sig

The quickest way to create your signature is through our Mouse2Sig service.  All you have to do is navigate to the My Signature section and click on the Mouse2Sig button.  You will see a blank box in which you can sign your name using your computer mouse as a pen.
