Before you sign your application it is important to check all the documents making up the application one more time.
You can do this using the “Review” option or by clicking “Open document” at the point of signing.

The new online filing (CMS) application’s built-in validation mechanism checks whether all the mandatory information has been included.
It does not check whether the content of the documents is correct.

The same rules apply as in "the paper world". In other words, professional representatives and applicants are entitled to sign,
but administrative employees are not.

As with conventional forms, one or more applicants or representatives may sign.

Once the application has been signed, it is bundled and "sealed" for non-repudiation.
That means that no further changes can be made without the application having to be signed again.

In the following scenario we will show you an application being signed for non-repudiation by an attorney.

For more information on signing, go to the user guide at New online filing (CMS) or use the online help in the application.
