I answered an incoming call as the Dispatcher working; that desk was busy. The Captain asking for 1;200 lbs added fuel. I pulled up the release and added the fuel; signed my name; and re-released it. The afternoon Dispatcher; shortly after taking over the desk discovered a [Maintenance Discrepancy] item that required the aircraft only be routed to [Company] Maintenance stations. I assumed the morning Dispatcher had verified that ZZZ was an [Company] Maintenance station when adding the Captain fuel so I did not dig into it. ZZZ is not an [Company] Maintenance station. The end result is that I signed my name to a release that was out of compliance with [Maintenance Discrepancy].The release that had already calculated out of compliance was revised by myself to add captain fuel without looking into the [Maintenance Discrepancy] compliance first.Dispatchers need to be very careful when signing their name to another dispatcher's release; no matter how minor the change. I do not believe this to have been a safety issue; however I have decided to disclose the information in an effort to improve policies and procedures in order to mitigate future occurrences.
Dispatcher reported that a release was signed that was created by another Dispatcher; resulting in errors.
