Instructions for Declaration form.

 You'll have been sent the declaration form as word file, you need to add your signature to it and then send it back to me.

(1). Download the document (Declaration form) from Teams.

(2). Get a piece of white paper and blue or black pen - preferably a thick one (sharpie) if you have one and sign your name on it.

(3). If you have a scanner scan the signature at 1200dpi.

(4). If you don't have a scanner either photograph your signature or scan it using the app on your phone. Do it near a bright window light and try and not cast a shadow across the paper with your signature on. If you are able to control the resolution/file size, make sure you use the highest quality option.

(5). Get the file off your phone/camera/device and open it in MS Paint.

• Click the 'Home' tab.
• Click the 'Resize' option.
• You'll see a drop down box that is titled Resize and Skew
• Click on or check that Pixels is selected.
• Click on or check that Maintain aspect ration is selected.
• Then type 500 in the Horizontal box.
• Click OK and the image will reduce in size.
• Then using the select option crop out any of the image that's not needed so that you are only left with your signature and not a lot of space surrounding (Crop tight). 
• Then click crop
• Rotate if needed.
• Then file save as and give a new name ... signature

• Then go up to the top of the page in the menu bar and click insert and choose picture.
• Select you image, then click on signature and click insert.
• It'll be too big, so resize it so that it's an appropriate size. 
• Now right click on the image (Signature) and choose format picture at the bottom of the drop down box.
• To the right of the screen where a drop down box "Format picture" has appeared choose the box with the mountains and sun diagram - when you hover over it, it's titled Picture. 
• Click that and then use the Brightness option slider to adjust the brightness of your inserted signature and match it as best you can with the grey surround. 
• Save the file as a PDF naming it using the Unit No. and your name and send it back to me using teams... Unit 00_Declaration form_Joe Bloggs
