Family Member - Electronic Signature

[Mahdavi]

How does my accompanying family member should sign his forms (imm5257e, imm5645e, imm5257b_1)?
Should I leave it blank and use my own electronic signature ??

Are you accompanying members, your children? If under 18, you can sign it on their behalf. it can’t be left blank.

No, accompanying member is my husband. When I am vaildating the form the message pop up "Do not print out your application form to sign it if you are applying online you can use your electronic signature" , since the family memebr doesnt have electronic signature I am confused.

He would be filling out his own application so why hasn’t he created his own electronic signature.

I submit an application for him as a Family Member under my own application

So he has signed off as having you as his representative. There is an online form (5713) that must be filled out granting permission for you to sign on his behalf.

Yes, he signed that form. So I can use my electronic signature to sign his forms.

Thanks

Since you signed the form, you should be able to sign the forms on his behalf. See fine print.
