Your client's experience

In the Client Portal, your client will be able to see which documents require signatures.

 

They simply need to click either the Sign Here button, or click the Signature Placeholder for each signature area required.


They will be able to sign by:

  • Drawing their signature

  • Typing their name

  • Uploading an image of their signature

Once they click Sign, the client will notified that this is a legally binding document. 

Note: Your clients will receive a copy of any document they sign, along with a certificate of digital signature, which you can also review.
