There are two ways.

You can add an image with a signature or watermark, when you export an image

Select the photo in the Browser and use "File > Export > Version".
In the Export panel set the "Export Preset" to "Edit".
In the "Edit" panel select the export preset you want to use, then enable the "Watermark" checkmark and select the image file with the watermark or signature.
Now press the OK button.
In the export panel select your edited preset.

The other method is using the BorderFX plugin. It lets you add borders and all kinds of annotations to your images. You can use the the metadata tags you added to the images, captions, dates, etc. Download BorderFX here: http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX

Personally as Léonie says, I use BorderFX.

I have it set to read the EXIF copyright that is set-up in my camera so EVERY images has copyright in the EXIF and I can't forget to put it in/on a photo.
