    Submit a PENNVEST Loan Servicing Signature Authorization/Change Form

    PENNVEST funding recipients must submit a form listing their authorized signatories prior to submitting their first Payment Request.  

     

    If you need to update or change the signatures on file for loan servicing, a new form is required.

    When is a Signature Authorization Form Needed?

    This form must be submitted prior to your first Payment Request. Submitted Payment Requests will not be processed without authorized contacts from this form.  

    Special Notes

    When making changes to your authorized signatories, follow the instructions below to complete a new SAF form which will replace the previous form we have on file. 

    Changes that require funding recipients to submit a new form include:

    • Changes to personnel through retirement, termination, or change to professional roles
    • Changes to an existing authorized signatory's first or last name, email address, or phone number

    The engineer signature must include a Professional Engineer Number (P.E.) or if a non-P.E. then an official certification number, if appropriate.

      Download and Print the Completed Document for Your Files.

      Both the Borrower and Attestor are able to download and print the document from DocuSign. However, if the Borrower downloads or prints the document prior to the Attestor's signature, the document they download or print will not yet be fully complete.

       

      Both the Borrower and Attestor will receive an one last email from DocuSign when the Attestor has completed the signature process to allow each to view, download, and print the fully signed document for their records.
