Hosting an In-Person Signing

As the host of an in-person signing session, your role is to guide each signer through the authentication and signing process. This workflow is slightly different from standard online signing because each in-person signer must verify their identity before signing.


  1. Locate the invitation email to host the in-email notification and click Review Document.

  2. Agree to the Terms of Use.

  3. Hand the device over to the Signer and them complete all required fields in the document except for the signature field.

  4. Once all other fields are filled out, instruct them to select the Signature tag to start the authentication process.

  5. During authentication, the signer will need to:

    • Confirm that they are participating in an in-person signing

    • Provide their email address to receive the finalized document

    • Agree to the terms of service.

    • If ID authentication has been enabled, you’ll need to prompt the signer to enter the required identification details. This information will be recorded in the audit trail as proof of their identity.

  7. Once this step is complete, they can proceed with signing and completing any remaining fields.

  8. If multiple in-person signers are present, repeat this process for each individual.

  9. After all in-person signers have finished, complete any remaining portions of the document as needed.

  10. Click Finish in the top right to submit the document.

Once the entire process is complete, the finalized document will be received by all signers, including the in-person signer, as well as the sender.

Note: If the document includes additional remote signers, it will only be finalized once all parties have completed their sections.
