# Sign your forms

> Four ways to sign, depending on what your state accepts.

Which method applies to you depends on your state. Your portal tells you which one you are doing, so you do not need to work it out.

## What you are signing

| Document                                         | What it is                                                 |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Power of Attorney for Title and Registration** | Lets Ekho file on your behalf, so you do not visit the DMV |
| **Application for Certificate of Title**         | Applies for the title in your name                         |
| **Vehicle Registration Application**             | Registers the vehicle                                      |
| **Odometer Disclosure Statement**                | Federally required mileage statement                       |
| **Bill of Sale**                                 | Records the sale                                           |
| **Rider Age Acknowledgment Form**                | ATV purchases only                                         |

Plus any forms specific to your state.

## The four methods

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Electronic signature">
    The fastest and most common, used where your state's DMV accepts e-signatures and no notarization is required.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the document set">
        On the Signatures page, click **Open document set to sign**. A secure signing interface opens.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Review each document">
        Your information is pre-filled. **Check it is right** rather than clicking straight through. Signature fields are highlighted in yellow.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create your signature">
        Click a highlighted field and choose how to create your signature.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Sign each document and submit" />
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Remote signing session">
    A scheduled session where you sign with someone guiding you, used where your state wants a witnessed signature but not full notarization.

    You book a time and join at that time. Have your ID ready.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Remote online notarization">
    Some states require a notary. RON lets you do it online rather than in person.

    You join a session with a commissioned notary who verifies your identity, watches you sign, and notarizes the documents. Have your government-issued ID to hand.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Wet signature by mail">
    A few states still require ink on paper with a physical notary.

    You print the forms, sign them in front of a notary, and mail the originals back. A prepaid label is provided.

    <Warning>
      Originals must be mailed; scans are not sufficient here. Post them as soon as they are signed, since your registration cannot complete until they arrive.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Read before you sign

<Tip>
  Everything is pre-filled, which makes it tempting to click through. Check the spelling of your name, your address, and the vehicle details. These go onto your title, and correcting a title afterwards is far more work than checking now.
</Tip>

## Tracking progress

Your portal shows which documents are signed and which are outstanding, including where a session is scheduled.

## If you cannot make a session

Reschedule from your portal or contact Ekho support. Missing it without rescheduling just delays your registration.
