Signing a Document in GetAccept
When someone sends you a document to sign through GetAccept, you’ll receive an email with a secure link to open and review it.
Before signing, make sure to carefully read the entire document — your signature is legally binding.
1. Review and Fill Out Required Fields
Once the document is open, fill in any fields that the sender has marked as required (these may include text fields, initials, or checkboxes).
You will not be able to finalize the signing until all required fields are completed.
2. Signing Methods in GetAccept
Depending on the sender’s settings and your country or region, there are several signing methods that may be available:
Click-to-Sign (Standard Electronic Signature)
You sign by clicking a “Sign” or “Accept and Sign” button.
This is the most common method for standard documents.
It is legally binding and creates a full audit trail showing who signed and when.
Drawn Signature
You use your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen to hand-draw your signature.
Often used when the sender wants a handwritten-style signature.
Just like click-to-sign, it’s legally valid and time-stamped in the signature certificate.
Initials
The sender may request that you initial specific parts of the document (for example, each page or clause).
You’ll be prompted to place your initials in marked fields before completing the signing.
Electronic ID (BankID or equivalent)
For enhanced verification, the sender may enable BankID or another national e-ID system.
You’ll be asked to verify your identity before signing.
This method adds a higher level of security and is legally binding under eIDAS and equivalent frameworks.
3. After Signing
Once all parties have signed:
The document is finalized and legally binding.
You’ll automatically receive an email containing:
A PDF copy of the signed document.
A Signature Certificate, detailing who signed, when, and how.
(Note: The sender can control whether these attachments are included in the email.)
