to sign vs. to print

Question

A sentence that I have to say often at work is: Please sign your name here and print underneath.

Por favor, firme su nombre aqui y escribalo claramente abajo.

Is that correct? Is there a one word translation for "print"? I can't say "imprimir", right?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You have it right, Alba.

Sometimes when it is absolutely crucial that the person signing the document understands clearly and makes no mistake, something like the following is written:

"Escriba su nombre con letras de imprenta y firme en el lugar indicado."

Obviously, no "one word" translation!
