You can sign the form two different ways:

1. Download and print the form on a standard printer, fill it out by hand, and mail it to the NACC:  4915 South Howell Avenue, Suite 501, Milwaukee, WI 53207
2. On a computer or mobile device, fill in the portion of the form that allows you to do so (Name, Membership Number, and five spaces for your initials), then print the form on a standard printer, sign and date the form, and mail it to the NACC:  4915 South Howell Avenue, Suite 501, Milwaukee, WI 53207

Note that either way the form must be signed and dated by hand.
