Title: Keeping signature (UK)
Post by: Megan. on April 04, 2017, 06:52:19 AM
When I legally change my name,  is it OK for me to retain the same written signature? My signature is based on my initials which won't be changing.

Thanks X.

Don't know why it wouldn't be.  I have been signing things with my initials for a few months now in anticipation of the same thing.

Tonya,  thank you,  this is also my assumption,  but I'm not on TV either 😊.

 I kept mine after changing my last name (not gender related, for marriage reasons really, although legally I used a different reason). I still sign my old last name in my native alphabet, no one understands it anyways)
