No matter where you live, if you travel, there may be an
instance some day where someone needs your signature, and you aren’t there to
give it to them. That’s where DocuSign comes in.
Marie Dwyer-Bullock shared this information with us:
When I signed up online for some software,
they sent me a contract via DocuSign. Turns out you can use this to sign
important documents like a Real Estate Contract (subject to Notary verification) or removing conditions, etc.
Whoever sends the document uploads it to DocuSign and then it gets an ID
number. You decide where the person should sign and initial and that gets added
to the instructions. Then the document gets sent to the client with
instructions to complete. They sign and that's it. Easy as pie.
We thought this would be great information for people to
know. DocuSign is a great way to to have documents signed back and forth north
of the border too, if you live in Mexico. Digital signatures are now legal between
countries (except for notarized documents, which still need to be in person).
People can sign up for DocuSign and send five documents a month for free.
A digital signature is basically a way to ensure that an
electronic document (e-mail, spreadsheet, text file, etc.) is authentic.
Authentic means that you know who created the document and you know that it has
not been altered in any way since that person created it.
