How to Request a Digital Signature

Follow the five simple steps below to send a document for digital signature.

1. Choose how to digitally sign your documents

On your CocoSign dashboard, if you want to send your document to someone else to sign, click Send for signatures. Or to sign the document yourself, click Sign Yourself.

2. Add the documents to be signed

To use a reusable template you’ve created, select a template from the drop-down list of Choose Template. Or upload a new file from your computer or cloud storages like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Box. Check I’m the only signer if you’re the only one to sign the documents.

3. Add the recipients of your documents

Fill in the information of the recipients. Click + Add Recipients to add more recipients, if needed. If you want to set a signing order, check Custom signing order, then adjust (drag & drop or set numbers) the order of the recipients.

4. Customize the field formatting for your documents

Drag the fields you want to add from the Fields section on the right and drop them to your documents. Then edit these fields as you like. Do that for all of the signers.

5. Review your document and configure the send settings.

Review the summary of your document and then enter the email subject and message. You can limit the recipients to sign within a certain amount of time or send them a reminder at regular intervals. You can also add your personalized branding in the email. Finally, click the Send button to send the document for signatures.
