One of the following abbreviations will be used, based on the server's Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) offset. The UTC offset remains the same year round, even during daylight saving time (DST). For example, Boston's UTC offset is considered UTC -5 during both summer and winter.
Abbreviation |
Coordinated Universal Time Offset |
Example Cities |
---|---|---|

UTC -4 |
Cape Breton (Nova Scotia), San Juan de Puerto Rico, Santiago de Chile |
ET |
UTC -5 |
Boston, Detroit, Miami, New York City, Toronto |
CT |
UTC -6 |
Chicago, Dallas, Mexico City, San Salvador, Winnipeg |
MT |
UTC -7 |
Calgary, Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City |
PT |
UTC -8 |
Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver |

If the server's time offset is outside this list, then the UTC offset will be added to the signature. For example, in London, the UTC offset is 0; in this case, the time offset will be displayed as UTC. In Hawaii, the UTC offset is -10 hours; in this case, the time offset will be displayed as UTC-10:00.
When a primary signer signs a dual deficiency, the time zone abbreviation on the secondary signer's signature is updated to match the primary signer's.
