How to sign your own documents
If you’re the only signer, follow these 3 simple steps:
Import your documents
Prepare the documents
Sign!
Important: Self-signing is only available with the Simple Electronic Signature (SES). If you need to use a higher-level signature (AES or QES), you must create a Signature Request and add yourself as a signer.
Step 1: Import documents
Go to your Signatures Dashboard.
Click on the arrow 🔽 next to the New Request button in the top right corner.
Select Sign a document.
Import the document(s) you want to sign in PDF or DOCX format (up to 50 documents, maximum size 50MB per document) by clicking on + or dragging your documents into Yousign.
Step 2: Prepare the documents you need to sign
You are automatically added as the only signer.
Drag the signature field onto your document (mandatory).
If needed, drag other optional fields onto your document:
Read-only text
Initials
Mention (e.g., Signed on #date, Read and approved)
Click Sign now in the upper right corner of your screen.
Note: You can move the fields on your document and resize them if needed.
Step 3: Sign!
Review and scroll through your documents.
Click to sign.
Click Download to save your signed document.
Remember: You can only self-sign with SES. For AES or QES, create a Signature Request instead.
With Yousign, signing your own documents is fast, secure, and unlimited for SES on all plans (Free, One, Plus, and Pro). All your signed documents are safely accessible in your account.
If one or more people need to sign the document, you must send a signature request. You can still add yourself as a signer in that case.
