So, you’ve been asked to digitally sign a document? No problem. It’s easy to create digital signatures.

1. Click the link. Your document should open in an electronic signature tool such as DocuSign.
2. Agree to electronic signing. You may be asked to agree to sign. After confirming agreement and if the document was sent via DocuSign, you should see tags with instructions to Start or Sign.
3. Click each tag and follow the instructions to add your digital signature.
4. Verify your identity. and follow the instructions to add your digital signature.
