signature block
Formal sign-off section
A signature block is the section at the end of an email, letter, or document containing the sender's name and contact information—typically name, title, company, phone number, and email address.
In emails, signature blocks are often appended automatically: Her signature block included three phone numbers and a legal disclaimer.
In formal documents, the signature block is where someone signs their name.
