Questions about switching
Can I bring my templates with me?
Yes. Upload your documents as PDFs (a Word file or a photo is converted to PDF on upload), place Signature, Initials, Date, Date Signed, Text and Checkbox fields, and assign them to numbered signer roles. Agreement templates can also be written as words, with starter wording, so no PDF is needed.
How do my signers prove who they are?
Each signer can have their own access code that is never emailed, with a lockout after five wrong tries. Before signing you can also require an ID check with liveness, or ID plus AML screening, for every signer or only people outside the business.
What proof do I get when an envelope is signed?
Every completed envelope carries a Certificate of Completion over the sealed document's hash and an audit trail. Anyone can check a copy they hold on a public verification page, with no account needed, and the envelope downloads as one sealed PDF or each document on its own.
