Letter Writers > Prepare Your Letter > How can I add my signature to an electronic document?

To sign an electronic document you need a digital picture of your signature.  You may have a digital picture of your signature on your computer and if you do, we encourage you to insert it into your letter before you upload your letter into Interfolio.

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

1. Mouse2Sig

The quickest way to create your signature is through our innovative 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.  By following the prompts, the signature you create will be instantly available to you.

2. Fax2Sig

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

Navigate to the My Signature tab in your Interfolio account and click on the Fax2Sig button.  You print the Fax2Sig form, sign the form, and fax it back to Interfolio. We will 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.

• How to Insert Your Signature Into Your Document

Once you have acquired a copy of your signature, please make sure to insert the picture into your document BEFORE uploading the letter.

To insert your signature into your letter, you will need to take the saved signature file from your Interfolio account, download it and paste it into your word processing document. Navigate to the My Signature section of your account, click on the “How to insert your signature” button. The system will detect the type of computer (Mac/PC) you are using and detect which browser you are using and provide you customized instructions on how to insert your signature.
