Basic e-signing steps

So how does Scrive accomplish these three elements? Let’s look at a simple signing process using the Scrive eSign service. You can try it yourself for free with a 30-day trial.

1. Upload a PDF agreement to the eSign signing portal.
2. Enter the signatory’s email address or mobile number, and click Start signing to send them an invitation to sign the document in the portal.
3. After the signatory reviews the agreement, they click a button to sign it (they can also draw their signature with a mouse or touch screen, but it’s not legally required).
4. Scrive collects and saves legal evidence (an audit log securely attached to the signed document) to show:
   • the signatory’s intent to enter the agreement: the contents of the document and their action of clicking to sign
   • the signatory’s identity: the email address or mobile number where they received the invitation link
5. Finally, Scrive applies a digital seal to the signed document, together with the evidence, to prove its integrity. If anyone alters the document after it was signed, the seal would be broken. There are legally accepted methods for clearly showing if a digital seal is intact.
