If this is the case, you are not alone! Unlike signatures, which are often written in cursive or scribbles and thus difficult to read, PRINT NAME demands you to write extremely clearly and without linking the letters. The form office may ask for your printing instructions because they can't print out forms by themselves. They will also need to know your address so that they can send you information about your claim. Finally, they will need to know how you want them to spell your name. Capitalizing your first name only is common when you use your full name on documents filed with agencies that require names to be printed in capital letters (such as social security cards). Filling out forms with "print my name as it appears on my ID card" or something similar will work fine. Writing your name in all caps is commonly used in formal situations such as applications for jobs, school papers, and reports. In general, printing your name means writing it in a way that others can easily recognize it.
