Question for those who didn't learn cursive - Lemmy.World

I’ve been wondering, if you never learned cursive writing, how do you sign your name, like on a lease or other place where you have to sign? Do you just print your name like you would anything else? Or maybe you looked up how to write just the cursive letters needed for your signature? Or maybe invented a way to sort of connect your printed letters together so it looks like a signature? Or … ?

Clearly you haven’t seen many signatures.

Mine is a scrawl that no one could identify, and I learned cursive a long, long time ago.

I’ve recently taken to drawing figures whenever I have to electronically sign something.

At least in the US, from past reading, I believe that there’s no legal requirement for a signature to actually be your name written in cursive.
