Signature options* Text (We will use the name entered above to create a signature for you) Draw your signature No signature Signature Text* Signature*Most companies ask for all W-9 forms to be signed. However, it is a relatively unknown fact that the IRS does not require most W-9 forms to be signed (or certified.) The certification instructions on the W-9 form state that generally for “payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN.” As most companies outside of the financial sector don’t deal with financial transactions, they can reduce the time and effort of obtaining W-9 forms by not requiring a signature.
