Hi @Alcastleinv,

Welcome to the Docusign Community!

We are glad to have you here and can't wait to help share as much knowledge as possible.

I am sorry to hear that your signature is not being applied as expected, but I will gladly help you correct the issue.

If the envelope in question is related to your active Docusign user, you will be able to change your signature after it was applied by left-clicking it and selecting "Change". 

You are able to update your adopted signatures in Manage Profile>Signatures as well. 

For more details on this topic, see: 

How do I change my signature or adopt a custom signature? 

If the option to change your signature is not present, then you are most likely facing one of the scenarios mentioned below:

• You do not have an active Docusign Account
• You are signing using:
  • Docusign mobile apps
  • In Person Signing Session
  • Digital Signatures/Universal Signatures (CFR part 11, etc.)
  • Sign and Return
• Sender has locked recipients names

Under these circumstances, the best course of action would be to contact the sender so they can recreate the envelope, and use the right recipient name if needed

Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this.  

Thank you for using Docusign, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!  

Best regards,

I have this same issue. The stated solution does not resolve it. Please help.

Hi @jlmacdowell,

Thank you for following up.

If you weren’t able to change your signature by following the steps mentioned above, then most likely the sender has locked recipient names on the account settings. This will require you to reach out to them in order to have them remove the undesired initial from your name.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I will address them as soon as possible.

Best regards,
