Signing Your LPL

How to sign (and how not to sign) your limited practice license

A signature line on your limited practice license requires a signature. A signature, for purposes of this document, is not typing your name - even if you type your name in a cursive font. 

For your signature page (Page 2 of the packet), you may print and sign the page. 

You may print and sign the page and then scan or take a clear photo of it and email it along with the rest of your packet to Kim Sanders.

You may sign a blank white piece of paper, take a clear photo of it, and make a digital image of your signature to affix to the document using Adobe.

You may use Adobe's E-Sign function to create a digital signature.

If you have questions about how to do any of these, please ask Kim and she'll be glad to help you.

For the notary pages (the last three pages of the LPL packet), do not sign these pages or complete anything in the notary block until you are in the presence of the notary. The notary must verify your identity and witness your signature before they can properly notarize your documents. Never sign a notarized document until the notary tells you it's okay to sign it. The purpose of a notary is to witness the signing of a document and identify the person doing so, verify your willingness to sign the document, and acknowledge your awareness of the contents of the document. None of that can be done when presented with a pre-signed document.
