Initials, on the other hand, are a shorter form of signature and are made easier and simpler. Initial can be formed from the first letter of one's name. Initialing a document does not equate to signing it. Compared to signatures, Initials are more flexible and not legally binding.

The initials should be handwritten in ink; it can be in either print or cursive, or in the form of the first alphabet of your name, a half version of the signature or a quick and short scribble, or just a slight stroke of the hand with the writing instrument.

An initial is just like a representative of your name. For instance, an initial can be formed from the first letter of a name or a word that forms part of the phrase. If your name is Mike Moses Master, the initial could be formed as MMM.

The initial is a marking on the end of the page. For physical documentation, it is done by ink. Much like a signature, the initial is not something generic but rather, exclusive to the individual using it. It's a small personalisation to acknowledge you have read the page and agreed to the terms on it.
