Choose a signer authentication method that fits into your workflow

SMS verification

Send an SMS with a personalized message and unique password. Signers will be required to enter the password you shared with them via SMS to access a signing session inside your application.

Phone call verification

Provide a relevant phone number and your signer will receive a phone call prior to gaining access to an embedded signing session. The signer passes authentication once they pick up the phone call.

Password protection

Create a secret password for accessing an embedded signing session and share it discreetly with your signers. They will have to enter the password to complete the verification and access your document.

What do you like best?

I have a small 14 person business, which is paperless. We manage all our files in Google Drive. Every document we sign we do it using SignNow, then we store it in google Drive, the operation is seamless, easy to use and very, very easy to transfer when someone else needs to use it.

What do you like best?

That it's easy to fill all the spots in the contract and that both I and the signer get a copy. Also that is super easy to setup and send reminders to signers.
