How to Send a Copy of Signed Documents to the Signer

When using our document signing service, you have the option to send a copy of the signed documents to the signer. This can be done in a few simple steps. In this article, we will guide you through the process of sending a copy of signed documents to the signer.

Step 1: Choose How to Send the Documents

After you have completed the document signing process, you will need to decide how you want to send a copy of the documents to the signer. To do this, click on the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page and choose from the following options:

Without Documents

If you choose this option, the signer will not receive a copy of the signed documents.

+ Documents

If you choose this option, the signer will receive a copy of the signed documents. No additional security measures will be added.

+ Documents + Secret Code

If you choose this option, you, as the sender, will choose a secret code that must be used to open the sent copy of the signed documents. This adds an extra layer of security to the process.

NOTE: The chosen code must only contain the letters ‘a-å’ and the digits ‘0-9’. Once the code is chosen, click the green button ‘Add Signer’.

Step 2: Send the Documents

After you have chosen how to send the documents, you can add the documents you wish to send. Once you have added all the necessary documents, click the green button ‘Send’.

Using ‘email’ as the selected example, the signer will now receive a notification in their inbox stating that a document is awaiting their digital signature.

Step 3: Sign the Documents

The signer will then be asked to follow the attached link, either by clicking ‘Open Document’ or by clicking the black button in the center labeled ‘Continue’.

Next, the signer will see a screen where they will be asked to click the button ‘SIGN DOCUMENT’.

The signer will then sign the document using their chosen signing method and click ‘Approve’. If they are unsure about the signing process, they can learn more about it by clicking on the ‘Signing’ link provided.

Once the signer has completed the signing process, a receipt will be sent to them via the selected method, in this case, email.

Step 4: Download the Signed Documents

The signer can now open the signed documents. This is done by opening the email with the subject line ‘Receipt for Signed Document’ and clicking the black button labeled ‘Download’.

The signer will then be taken to a screen where they are asked to click ‘DOWNLOAD’ and then click on the topmost download shown in the upper right corner, in this case a file named ‘download (4).zip’.

A dialog box titled ‘Password needed’ will appear on the screen. The signer is asked to enter the password received from the sender (you).

Then, the signer is asked AGAIN to re-enter the password and click ‘Open File’, after which they will gain access to the signed documents.

Additional Security Options

In addition to the above options, there are a few other ways to add extra security when sending a copy of signed documents to the signer.

+ Documents + Password

This option follows the same process as the ‘+ Documents + Secret Code’ option, but instead of a secret code, the signer can choose to add a password to protect their copy of the signed documents. The password must only contain the letters ‘a-å’ and digits ‘0-9’.

+ Documents + CPR Number

This option is only available if you have selected ‘MitID’ for both ‘Identification’ and ‘Signing’. The signer will receive a notification via email stating that a document is awaiting their digital signature. They will then be asked to follow the instructions for using MitID and enter their CPR number to sign the document.

Once the signing process is complete, a receipt will be sent to both the sender and the signer.

Conclusion

Sending a copy of signed documents to the signer is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps. By following the instructions in this article, you can ensure that the signer receives a copy of the signed documents securely and efficiently.
