This query is : Resolved
I want to change my current signature which in its current form is my initials followed by my name. I wish to change it to a format as presented by my name followed by expansion of my initials. I hope the experts here get an idea of what I am meant by change of signature.
I want to have this change of signature reflected in all major legal documents like PAN card, Driving License, Passport, Bank accounts, Insurance policies and other such financial documents.
Also, I have to enrol for UID (Aadhar) within a week. So I would like put my new signature there as well.
Is there any legal procedure by which I can change to my new signature and through which I can inform the relevant authorities of the above mentioned documents, so that this change can done smoothly without any problems or controversies.
I would like to get advice from expert legal persons here as it is quite urgent.
Thanks in advance

Nature & Signature are of man's own. No body can change it except the man on its own.

Thanks to everyone who has given the advice on this matter.
But what I want to know is whether i can put my new signature on the UID application form, as my new signature is my name followed by expanded initials instead of the old one, which shows my name preceded by unexpanded initials. Will the UID authorities accept my new signature, since when I give a proof of identity (PAN or Passport), it will show old signature

you can put your new signature on uid application form. Get attest your new signature from bank, then uid authorities accept it.

Shailesh shah, UID authorities are satisfied if you submit a copy of voters ID along with application form and voters ID card has just my photograph and address.. no signature. So they are not checking for signature. Thats what my friend told me. Do you think I still have to submit new signature attested from the bank?

if uID authorities are not asking for any explnanation as to differnce in signatures why are you bothered.
just sign on application forms . it is not as if you are impersonating some one else .
