How to Implement In-Person Electronic Signature With SignWell

Step 1

Set Up a Template

Start by creating a document template in your Templates dashboard. Upload your document and add all the required fields such as signatures, dates, and any text inputs. Assign these fields to the appropriate recipients. Templates save you time and ensure consistency, especially if you're collecting signatures frequently or from multiple people.

Step 2

Launch In-Person Signing

Once your template is ready, click "Use" and select "Sign In Person." This sets the document up for immediate, face-to-face signing. Choose the first signer, they'll enter their name and email on your device.

Then, they'll be guided through their assigned fields. After completing their section and clicking "Save & Finish," the next signer (if there is one) will be prompted to continue the process on the same device.

Step 3

Finalize and Store the Document

After all signers have completed their parts, you can download the fully signed document or manage it directly from your Documents dashboard. The signed file is securely stored in your account, making it easy to access, track, or share whenever needed.
