Has your signature changed as time goes by?

We suppose that our signatures are the same all the time. However, it is not the fact. Our signatures will have some changes as time goes by. Even if I am an adult now, but my current signature is already a little different than the signature I signed few years ago. So sometimes I doubt how the bank prove that the signature is signed by me

indeed, it does changes during the course of time, peoples say that signature denotes what kind of personality a person possess,is that means if i made my signature like a celebrity i may possess his traits and quality.

i am thinking so thst why i puted that answer their in the box, but you have not responded for it. now the another question peeps into my mind is that if everyone can forger the signature of the celebrity then why do not they are doing so.

I haven't thought of such a matter before.I reckon my existing signature is certainly different from what I signed several years back.I am getting along in years,so my writing is getting worse,much less now seldom write apart from typing.I think the fingerprint is better than signature.

My signature Has changed but not That much. IOt is still a scribble. I think they have machines read our signatures and they can tell the difference between our slight changes and a forger.

Youless, as time passed by i can see that my signature does changed a little from the previous one. That's why, i am trying my best to sign as slowly as possible, as trying to make sure that my signature don't change much when i want to withdraw my money through the counter. I ever came across sometimes where the cashier of the bank demanded me to resign another bank form, as the earlier signature seems changes a lot. But lucky me, i am able to signature almost the same like my previous whenever i sign slowly. I am happy that now with the available of ATM card, i don't have to sign every month, to withdraw my money.

I hope the bank can realize that we can't keep our signature all the time.

Naturally, I totally changed mine when I get married. But long before that, I had two kinds of signatures, the properly done and the rushly done signature. When signing something with ample time, it results to a good siggy. But if I'm in a hurry, it deviates from the original one.

Mine has changed a little bit but it is only because I do not have the time to take to write more neatly. I still try though.

Sometimes I wonder whether the neat signature will be easier for us to copy.

Maybe it can change a little. But i find that my signature is always so ugly. lol. has not changed to be more beautiful at all. Writing a beautiful signature is very important, because it just like your outlook, show something of you. And to make a sound foundation in hand writing when one is small child is very important in deciding how his or her signature looks in the future. Of course, there are some people who practice a lot in writing their names, and they got the ability to write a pretty signature, though they can't write other words beautifully. Well, since i am no leader or in high position, therefore, don't have much chance to show to others my signature, i don't need to learn that thing. :)

My signature looks different every time I sign. I haven't really been able to get the fancy signature look that I look for, mine is just all over the place.

I think that my signature has changed a lot over time. During my youth, I experimented alot with my signature and over the years I kind of established a norm but I don't think that I am even now super consistent...lol...handwriting experts must be very smart.

Bank is very strict with signature, my friend. You must stick with your signature because they found out that the signature you signed to them before and change to another one. You need to prove your identity by submitting any documents that the person was really you...

I think signature changes as long as writing is changing. And everyone's writing is in a continuous change as the individual advances in age. It's a natural change because man goes through a long process of getting older and older not only physically but also mentally. So writing and signature are not the same at various steps in one's life. If I look at my signature and writing I had in childhood they make me laugh...

I suppose that gradually over time my signature has changed. My name has changed over time as well so I have found different ways to write it. The bank looks for slight changes and not that the name is exactly the same. If it were the same it could be looked at as a fraud.

Hi! That is quite true, my signature changed after many years. I found out this when I went to a check on one of my old bank account and they required me to use the signature that I sign many year ago, and after many times tried, they still say that my signature are not the same. I am lucky that they are kind enough that they show me my old signature, and finally I manage to sign as how I sign many year ago.

My signature changed. Every time go to go bank to withdraw my money, i need to sign on those paper again and again. They said... here is not good, there need to be ... ... Hence, i use a more simple sign for my bank account. Then, no problem anymore. However, it somehow too simple that, anyone can sign one looks like the same :(
