Points to note

For most of the banks in India, there is a bank format which you need to duly fill-in and then place your new signature in the space provided.

Though it is not necessary to submit copies of any of the documents, yet, to be on the safe side, you can submit a copy of your bank passbook for ready reference.

However, a valid proof of identity of yours like a driver's license, voter id card, Adhaar card, passport etc is required which has to be verified by the branch officer.

In case you could replicate your old signature, then you need not submit any documents for proof.

In case you could not replicate your old signature, then you need to submit any one of the following documents for proof:

A Govt.-issued photo identity like a driver's license, Aadhaar Card, Passport etc. with a seal/stamp of the Govt. authority as a proof of current signature and duly attested by a banker, or notary. The new signature should match the signature on the govt issued document.

Conclusion

Requesting your bank for a change of signature is not a difficult task but it could be easily done by filling in the bank formats avail either online for most of the banks or are available at the branch offices.
