An applicant may satisfy the electronic signature requirement for an electronically submitted Form 1024-A by including, in the PDF file it uploads as part of its application, a copy of the handwritten signature of the officer, director, trustee, or other authorized official whose name is typed into Part IX of the Form 1024-A on Pay.gov. To sign in this way, the signer should sign above their typewritten name on a copy of Part IX of the completed application or on a separate sheet of paper that includes the same information as in Part IX (name of signer, title or authority of signer, date, and penalties of perjury statement as set out in Part IX).
