How do I sign an LM2 form?

*	Make sure you are at the computer that you originally installed the certificate.
*	Make sure that the LM2 form has been filled out correctly before proceeding.
*	Make sure the President signs first than the Treasurer.

1.	Click on the Validate Form button on page 1 of the form. If the form has successfully passed validation you should get a message that says the form has passed validation.
2.	Click on the Presidents Signature field. A window will pop up saying that you are about to sign an uncertified document. Click OK. The Apply Signature to Document window will appear. Click on Sign and Save. You should get a window that says "You have successfully sign the document." Your signature will now appear on the form and will have a green check mark with a pen. * If you don’t have a green check mark please refer to the bottom of the screen for resetting defaults in Adobe Reader.
3.	Click on the Treasurer Signature field. A window will pop up saying that you are about to sign an uncertified document. Click OK. The Apply Signature to Document window will appear. Click on Sign and Save. You should get a window that says "You have successfully signed the document." Your signature will now appear on the form and will have a green check mark. * If you don’t have a green check mark, please refer to the bottom of the screen for resetting defaults in Adobe Reader.
4.	After both signatures are signed click on the Submit button. You will now be connected to the Department of Labor website where you can upload the form.
