As i understand the instructions (which I have highlighted), they want you to write out your entire name. Your husband is correct. Sorry!

I would take it to mean they want you to sign your name as you would sign any official document, and they want your entire name. They don't want it printed out "clearly," letter by letter, unless that is the way you always sign your name on official documents. Some documents will say "print here" where you write it out clearly and "sign here" where you sign in your own individual way. This is just asking for the latter. That would be my interpretation anyway.

[Scott & Lai 12]

"Do not print" generally means script as opposed to printing individual letters. They would say not to type if they were telling you not to use a printer. Script signatures are considered official. An example would be where you have to sign for a package (script), and then print underneath. The printed name is for verifying the spelling of the script signature, which is the one that is considered official.

From what I understand you just have to sign your full name using your own hand writing...that's what "do not print" usually means

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

The want your signature.... not your printed name. I'm sure they have the spelling of your name somewhere on the form.

The instructions are not clear. Asking for a signature but telling you how to sign your name may be two different things. My signature does not include my middle name. It is my signature (which is mine and the way I sign) I believe they are asking for your full name in cursive and not really your signature.

[mawilson 2,133]

"Printing" in this context means writing (letters) in the style of printed matter, e.g. in block capitals.

If you are "not used to" writing in cursive letters, get used to it now.

[Mags 112]

Sign your name as you would usually do for a document/application/bank withdrawal etc, but add in your middle name(s) as well.

So, if you were called Billy Bob Thornton and normally only signed it Billy Thornton, you'd sign it Billy Bob Thornton in this instance.

My DF tells me off as I only sign my first name initial plus surname. He says I will be expected to sign my full name once I get there. I guess I better start practicing that.

yeah my signature in brazil used to be my first name initial followed by my last name. Now I sign my full name

[vbtbmrt 2]

well the form says sign your full name which means sign in script your full name do not print means do not print like your reading now block letter signing in script is offical its not easy but it has to be done

your sig is your sig. Sign anyway you want.

Not necessarily, I thought this too once. Several years ago I sold some stock. I was at my broker's and signing some papers. After I signed them, he looked and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. You have to sign your full name." I replied, I don't sign with my full name. My signature does not contain my middle name. He said, "Well you have to, because it's listed on the stock certificate." I quarrelled, saying but that is NOT my signature! He replied with, "I know, but you have to sign the exact name that is present on the certificate." I always thought a signature is your signature.

your sig is your sig. Sign anyway you want.
