Usage
What does signee mean? A signee is a person who signs a document. Signee is a formal way of saying signer. Not only is it used to refer to someone who signs a legal document, it’s also often found in those legal documents as part of the terms and conditions that are being spelled out. For that reason, it could be considered legalese (legal jargon). Example: The delivery cannot be made until the signee is present to sign for the package.
