Best Answer

You can sign FOR someone else.

But then you need to have a document signed by THAT person stating that YOU are allowed to sign for that person. And you sign in YOUR name, also explaining that you are allowed to sign for the other person.

You're NOT allowed to sign AS another person.

You're not that person.

That's fraudulent, or counterfeiting. Even if it's done with their permission.

We asked this question as well and were told that specific language had to be used to prevent future issues with the signing party. A disclaimer similar to the one below should be used. Please make sure you always consult an attorney before implementing this language to verify its validity. I [name] authorize [your name / company name] to use my signature stamp exclusively for [intended use] on behalf of [client company / individual name]. No other use is permitted.

they can but not if its on any kind of document that needs you to sign it personally.otherwise its fraud.

Perhaps with a Power of Attorney document, properly notarized and all nice and legal, this could take place. One wouldn't actually sign the others name, but would be able to sign their own name in the interest of the original signor.

no because its not legal! you can authorize some one to sign for you when signing a document, but the person has to sign his/her own name. For example:

John Peters (writes his signature) for Peter Jhons( Prints his name)

No, signing someone else's signature without their permission is considered forgery and is illegal. It is important to always obtain consent before signing someone else's name.
