Follow these steps to sign the document from a handheld device:

  1. Open the e-signature request mail sent to your email address.
    Note:
    This email contains a unique and secure link to a document that is intended solely for your use. Please do not share this email or the document link with others.
  2. Click the Sign document button. The document will open in a new browser tab, where the signer can begin signing.
  3. Begin signing by providing your consent to sign the document electronically. To do so, click the Checkbox at the bottom banner that says, “I agree to sign this document electronically as per the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure and Agreement.”Note: If you wish to decline to sign the document, click the More (⋯) icon on the top-rightcorner of the screen and click Decline.
  4. Click the Start signing button at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Follow the Fill this label to enter information in the Checkbox or Text tags; if the sender has added these tags while preparing the document.
