AO 391: Apostille Specimen Signature Card

AO 391, Apostille Specimen Signature Card, is a small U.S. Courts card form. The PDF is dated Rev. 5/81 and says it is printed on heavy stock paper, and cut to size (3" X 5"). It prints two identical cards on one page. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Other Forms, effective on May 1, 1981.

Each card has a signature line and a date, a line for the signature printed or typed, a line for capacity or title, and a space to affix a seal or stamp. The form prints no instructions and does not say who signs the card, who keeps it, or how it is used.

AO 391 is not a form the public files with a court. This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
