Does the signature on LOR request form handwritten?

[haribo]

The recommendor who's supposed to write me a LOR is at another country.

I know I should print the request form, put my signature and send it to him.

However, is it possible that I put in my signature digitally(ex. PDF writer or a similar program)?

That would make things much easier for me, since then I would only have to send my recommender an e-mail.


Thanks in advance for your kind replies :-)

I have the same problem. I wish I could fax the form. Can I?

If I recall correctly, I faxed one of my forms and it went through OK.
