Nobody checks signatures. All my cards are signed "check ID" and literally nobody has looked or asked in 20 years.

True story. I've drawn a number of pictures of the years only ever got questioned once.

I'd be careful with that.

  1. It technically invalidates your card because they say ”not valid unless signed.” So if you run into the rare merchant who checks the ID they might refuse it for not being signed.

  2. If the person taking the card is unscrupulous, giving them your ID in addition to your card gives them even more info to steal from you.

There was a TIFU post of a guy who one had three cat faces as his driver license signature.

And then he had to take out a mortgage and the bank made him sign a whole ream of paperwork to put in an official signature change.
