Signatures also mean other identification marks created on the document as a proof of identity and will.

While the meaning of signatures according to Yahya Harahap (2001: 544), the signature is a written document (not necessarily on paper) which can then be used as evidence in civil procedure law.

What is the Signature Function?

Generally, a signature is taken from the person's own name, either a nickname or a full name. Each person has a different style and unique in writing or making signatures.

Signatures are required in making a letter or a document. Signatures have functions as proof of authenticity of letters or documents. In addition, the signature is also to indicate the authenticity of the identity of the letter writer or persons associated with the contents of the letter or document.

The letter / document can be doubted its authenticity if it finds a discrepancy in the signature contained therein.
For example, the signature shown is not the same as a KTP or other identity card so that the authenticity of the letter / document can not be proven legally civil event.

For those of you who are still students and do not have a KTP, often changing signatures is not a problem. However, if you already have a KTP do not change the signature well!

Because all the letters / documents can only be authenticated if in it listed your signature in accordance with the listed on the ID card. If there is a difference, then the document can be doubted its authenticity.
