The signature guide helps to keep your writing in a straight line with letters at an even height. If you are partially sighted, the contrast between the thick black frame and the paper you are writing on will make handwriting easier.

Signature Guides are ideal for persons who have trouble seeing where to sign important documents, like a cheque, receipts, or even your tax return. It is a simple tool that helps you to sign on the dotted line every time. Signature guides are typically made of cardboard or plastic and work by using a cutout space or raised lines to help you stay in place.
These Guides are inexpensive and come in several sizes, so you can keep them in the places where you are most likely to use them, such as your home, office or wallet. When you’re ready to sign, you just ask someone to put the window of the guide over the signature line, hold the guide in place, and sign in the area outlined by the window.
