However, the form must still be signed; typed names and electronic signatures will not be accepted.

A scanned signature is a digital copy of a handwritten signature, usually captured as an image. To create a scanned signature, a signatory will draw their signature by hand on paper and use a device of some sort to transform the handwritten signature into a digital format, like a PDF, JPEG, or PNG.

A wet signature refers to someone endorsing a physical paper document by signing their name with a pen (“wet ink”). Today, concluding contracts and agreements almost never require a wet signature, and various forms of electronic signatures have replaced them.

As of March 21, 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will accept electronically reproduced original signatures in lieu of “wet” signatures on all benefit forms and documents.

USCIS provided clarification regarding the intake process: Scanning: The Lockbox facility scans all documents that are mailed in with a petition or application, with the exception of the documents mailed in with a Form I-140 or an Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur (Form I-526).

Taxpayers, who currently use Forms 8878 or 8879 to sign electronic Forms 1040 federal tax returns or filing extensions, can use an e-signature to sign and electronically submit these forms to their Electronic Return Originator (ERO).

If you are filing your form with a USCIS service center, we recommend that you do not: Hole punch, staple, paper clip, binder clip, or otherwise attach documents to one another. Include photos or documents smaller than 4x6 inches for evidentiary purposes. Provide photocopies of these items instead.

For forms that require an original “wet” signature, per form instructions, USCIS will accept electronically reproduced original signatures for the duration of the National Emergency. This temporary change only applies to signatures. All other form instructions should be followed when completing a form.
