Get Outside Parties to Sign, Without the Friction

Send a secure signing link to anyone outside your organisation. They sign on a branded page with no account or login, and every signature is captured with a tamper-evident compliance stamp.

Most documents that need signing involve someone outside your walls: a client, a vendor, a counterparty, a member of the public. Forcing them to create an account just to sign adds friction that delays deals and frustrates everyone. Dockria's External Signing removes that barrier entirely.

Requesting an external signature is as simple as right-clicking a document and entering the recipient's email address. They receive a unique, secure link that opens a branded signing page showing the full document preview, no account, no login, no software to install. They can scroll through every page before signing.

Recipients choose how they sign: drawing their signature by hand, typing their name in a signature font, or applying a compliance stamp without a personal mark. They place the signature where it belongs on the page, or, if the document contains defined signature fields, lock it precisely onto the correct field. A few clicks and the document is signed.

Every external signature carries a tamper-evident compliance stamp recording the signer's name, the time, and how they were verified, and the whole exchange is captured in the document's audit trail. You get the convenience of frictionless outside signing without sacrificing any of the evidence your compliance and legal teams require.
