    Create a digital certificate if you don’t already have one. Signing with a digital signature is different than typing or signing your name on a document. When you sign with a digital certificate, you’re including a unique encryption code that validates your identity. Digital certificates are usually assigned by certificate authorities and cost money, but you can create one yourself for personal use.[2]
     If you don’t already have a digital certificate and just need a digital ID for personal use, here’s how to create one:

    • Right-click the Windows Start menu and select File Explorer.

Signing a document makes it easy to prove your identity and authenticity of the document. Here is how to sign a Word document (add signature).

For document creation, there is no other better software as popular or feature-rich as MS Word. Whether you are writing a book, contract letters, official documents, or general notes, MS Word has everything for you and can do it all.

After creating a document, you can further personalize it with a digital signature. In fact, you can even add an image or picture signature in Word. As an added benefit, a signature will prove your identity and the document’s authenticity, just like in real life. It also discourages others from editing the manuscript. Any changes made to the document after signing will invalidate the signature.

As you can guess, Word document signing is very useful in several cases where you don’t want others changing the document content in any way.

Let me show you how to sign a Word document in simple steps.

There are two significant steps to sign a Word document. First, we need to create or insert a signature line in the document. Second, you or the target user can add a signature on the signature line in the document. Though it sounds complicated, it is pretty easy to do. Here is how.

First, open the Word document you want to sign. Ensure the document is fully ready and requires no more editing or changes. Once you sign the document, you cannot edit it without invalidating the signature.

In the document, place the cursor where you want to insert the signature. In my case, I want to add it to the bottom left of the page.

Next, go to the “Insert” tab.

go to insert

Click on the “Signature Line” dropdown menu and select the “Microsoft Office Signature Line” option.

select Microsoft office signature line option

The above action will open the Signature Setup window. Here, fill in the following fields.

  • Suggested signer: Who should sign the document.
  • Suggested signer’s title: What is the title of the person signing the document.
  • Signer’s email address: Signer’s email address.
  • Instructions for the signer: Any special instructions you need to tell the person signing the document.

Select the “Show sign date in signature line” checkbox. If you want to allow the signer to add their own comments to the signature, select the “Allow the signer to add comments in the Sign dialog” checkbox.

After filling the fields, click the “Ok” button to save changes in the Signature Setup window.

As soon as you click the Ok button, the signature line is added to the document. You can sign the document yourself or send it to the user who needs to sign it.

Double-click on the signature line or right-click on it and select the “Sign” option to sign the document.

Edit signed Word document

Of course, one can still edit the document, but it will invalidate the signature and removes it. If you click on the “Edit Anyway” button, you will see the “Editing will remove signatures in this document. Do you want to continue?” message. Clicking “Yes” will remove the signature and allows you to edit the document.

That is all. It is that simple to add or insert a signature in the Word document.

I hope that helps.

You may be wondering: how do I add a signature to a Word document by converting it? You can unlock even more options for signing Word documents by saving your Word document as a PDF.

To do so, open your Word document, go to File > Save As. Click the Save as Type drop-down menu and select PDF. This process will be the same on either a Windows or on a Mac.

Converting your document to a PDF makes signing in Microsoft Word so much easier.

Now, you’re all set to sign a Word document electronically using the methods discussed below.

How to Sign Something in Word With DocHub

DocHub is an online signature service that works with PDF documents. If you’re interested in learning how to sign a Word doc electronically but need the signatures to carry some weight, DocHub supports legally binding electronic signatures.

Can you sign a Word document electronically, without converting it? It's possible, but not always the best way to go.

DocHub works on the Android and iOS platforms, but does not offer dedicated apps. To use the app on a mobile device, go to the DocHub website using the Safari or Chrome browser on your smartphone or tablet. Then, log into your account. From there, look for the Sign menu and tap it. Choose your digital signature from the list; touch any part of the document to insert it.

You can also make new signatures on a touchscreen device. Simply use your finger to draw the signature on the screen. It becomes part of the Sign menu, so you can easily insert it into a new document.

How Do I Sign a Word Document With Preview on a Mac?

If you’re a Mac user, Preview is an integrated application that allows you to sign documents electronically. Save your document as a PDF and open it in Preview.

Click the Toolbox icon, then the Signature icon. Next, click Create Signature, then Click Here to Begin. Click the Trackpad tab at the top of the box. You can also use the Camera tab for a picture of a signature, but that’s a less precise option.

With the Trackpad tab selected, use your finger to draw the signature on your trackpad. Then, click the Done button. Clicking on the signature inserts it into the document; you can resize or move it, too. Can you sign a document in Word any quicker? We think not, and we have only Apple to thank for that.

Add a Signature to a Word Document Professionally

When meeting up in person just isn’t feasible, signing a Word document digitally simply must suffice. Thankfully, signing in Microsoft Word has never been easier.

You now have several options for adding an electronic signature to a Microsoft Word document. Although some require saving it as a PDF first, all are easy to manage when there’s business to attend to.
