Forms with a handwritten signature

How the signature works

• Respondents sign in a box with a finger on their phone, or with the mouse on a computer.
• The signature is stored as strokes, not as an image that could be pasted, with the rest of the answers.
• You see it in the detail of each response and in the document to print or save as PDF. In the CSV it shows as “Signed”.
• You can make it required, like any other question.

What it is used for

• Engagement letters and quote acceptances.
• Photo consent, trip and activity permissions.
• Delivery and job completion sign-offs.
• Registrations that accept rules or terms.

What it is not

It is not a certificate-based contract signing platform. If a procedure requires a qualified electronic signature, as some dealings with public authorities do, you will need a digital certificate. For everything else, a signature on a form records who accepts, when and what.

Templates to start with

• ✉️Engagement letterFor accountants, law firms and consultants: the client confirms the service and fees and signs the engagement.
• ⭐Photo and video consent formFor academies, clubs, schools and events: which uses of photos and videos each person allows, with their signature.
• 🎓Academy enrolmentFor academies and training centres: student, course, schedule and, for minors, the guardian's details.
