To get your documents signed electronically, you must assign signers to your document in the Signature block. Depending upon who needs to sign your document, here are the three different scenarios you can choose from:
- Assigning only yourself as the signer
- Assigning yourself and others as signers
- Assigning only others as signers
1. Assigning only yourself as the signer
To assign yourself as a signer, you must be logged in to your LegalZoom account.
When you upload the document for e-signature, by default, you (the document sender) become the signer of your document. Your name and email ID are already added to the Signature block.
Place the Signature block tags on your document with a simple drag-and-drop action and proceed to self-sign your document.
2. Assigning yourself and others as signers
Follow the below steps:
- Assigning yourself: When using our eSignature service, the document sender is automatically set as the default signer. You can find your name and email ID placed in the Signature block.
- Assigning others: Click the + Add another signer button and add new or existing signer details.
- Once you add all the signers, drag and drop the tags from each Signature block onto your document, where you need the signers to add these details.
3. Assigning only others as signers
When using our service, the document sender automatically becomes the default signer of the document. However, if your document is meant for external signers only, please delete the Signature block with your details and add other signers' information.
Follow the below steps:
- Click the + Add another signer button and add new or existing signer details.
- Delete the signature block assigned to you.
- Once you add all the signers, drag and drop the tags from each Signature block onto your document, where you need the signers to add these details.
