New feature alert: Witness signing is now available in Zoho Sign

Hello!

Getting documents signed with confidence in Zoho Sign just got a major boost! We're delighted to introduce witness signing, where other individuals or entities can be designated as witnesses to observe the signing process and add their signatures to a document. This feature provides an added layer of authenticity and security, reducing the chances of fraud and increasing the assurance offered by your digitally signed agreements.

How witness signing adds value

Witness signing is ideal for documents that require third-party presence during contract execution for legal, business, or personal purposes. It offers:
  • Stronger security: Elevate your document security with an added layer of verification through witness signatures.
  • Legal confidence: The witness's signature strengthens the document's integrity and can be used as legal evidence if needed.
  • Built-in trust: A third-party witness boosts the credibility of your agreements and builds trust among all parties involved.
  • Effortless implementation: Add up to two witnesses per signer with ease.
  • Complete transparency: With a detailed audit trail, you can track every step of the signing process, from IP addresses to timestamps and authentication methods, for both signers and witnesses.

Get started today!

Curious about how to use this feature? Check out our help documentation for a step-by-step guide.

We value your feedback

Try witness signing and let us know how it works for you! If you have any questions or need further assistance, drop a comment below or reach out to us at support@zohosign.com (or support@eu.zohosign.com for EU). We're here to assist you!

Let's make your signing process smarter and safer.

Best, 
Rithika Govindarajan
