FAA and Digitally Signing Documents

[LevelWing]

The FAA will allow you to update certain aircraft and airmen services via CARES now, which is really nice. However, they require it have a digital signature, as outlined here:

How does one get a digital signature/certificate that will be valid?

Not sure specifically, but most official documents have a pdf format that allows you to type your name and the program inserts an electronically generated signature of your name - this becomes the "digitally signed" signature.

Adobe does it, so does MS Word.

ETA, when the “signature” is applied, a read-only version is saved. If that version is altered, the “signature” is removed and a notice is displayed that the signature is invalid.

DocuSign or the Adobe equivalent would work.

Learn something new every day. I thought this required a service you had to pay for but it looks like Adobe will do it, as mentioned above. Thanks!
