In-person signing is a mode where the document sender and one or more signers are physically in the same location. Rather than emailing a signing link, the sender opens the document on their own device (laptop, tablet, or phone) and passes it to each signer in turn.
Each signer reviews the document, fills in their fields, and applies their signature. The device is then passed to the next signer or returned to the sender. SignAndGo tracks each signer individually in the audit trail, with timestamps and device information.
This combines the convenience of electronic signatures with the immediacy of face-to-face business. No printing, no scanning, no waiting for email replies. The signed document is available instantly.
Close deals on the spot. Present the contract, walk through the terms, and collect signatures before the meeting ends. No waiting for email follow-ups.
Example Scenario
A financial advisor meets a new client, reviews the service agreement together, and gets it signed on a tablet before the client leaves.
Construction, property inspection, and maintenance teams sign off on documents at the job site. No paper forms that get lost or damaged.
Example Scenario
A building inspector completes an inspection report on-site, and the property owner signs the acknowledgement on the inspector's tablet.
New employees or tenants complete all their paperwork in one sitting during the onboarding meeting. Multiple documents, one session.
Example Scenario
HR walks a new hire through their employment contract, NDA, and superannuation choice form. All signed on an iPad during orientation.
Capture partnerships and agreements at events. Sign NDAs, partnership agreements, or service contracts while the momentum is there.
Example Scenario
A vendor at a trade show signs an exhibitor agreement on the organiser's phone, with a copy emailed to both parties immediately.
Upload your document and add signature fields for each signer. You can prepare this in advance or create it on the spot.
Choose "In-Person Signing" when adding recipients. This tells SignAndGo that signers will be present rather than receiving email links.
Open the signing session on your device. The first signer reviews the document, completes their fields, and signs. Hand the device to the next signer.
Once all signers have completed their sections, the document is sealed. Every party receives a copy via email, along with the audit certificate.
In-person electronic signatures are legally valid under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999. The audit trail provides stronger evidence than a wet signature.
Every action is timestamped to the second -- when the document was opened, when each field was completed, and when the signature was applied.
Each signer's email is recorded and verified. The audit trail distinguishes between multiple signers on the same device.
The signed document is sealed with a digital certificate. Any modification after signing is detectable and invalidates the certificate.
iPads and Android tablets give signers a natural signing surface. The larger screen makes it easier to review the full document.
Set up your document with all signature fields before the meeting. This keeps the signing process smooth and professional.
While SignAndGo works well on mobile data, a stable connection ensures the fastest experience. If connectivity is a concern, prepare the document in advance.
Give each signer adequate time to read the document before signing. Rushing signers can create legal challenges later.
SignAndGo automatically emails a copy to all parties. Confirm that each signer has received their copy before ending the meeting.
Yes. In-person electronic signatures carry the same legal validity as remote electronic signatures under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999. The audit trail actually provides stronger evidence than a traditional wet signature because it records timestamps, device information, and IP address.
SignAndGo records the exact time of each signature, the device used, IP address, geolocation (if permitted), and creates a tamper-evident certificate. Each signer's identity is verified through their email, and the signed document is sealed with a digital certificate.
Yes. In-person signing mode allows multiple signers to take turns on the same device. Each signer completes their fields, and the device is handed to the next person. SignAndGo tracks each signer individually in the audit trail.
No. Signers do not need a SignAndGo account. The sender opens the document on their device and passes it to each signer. Signers only need to enter their name and apply their signature — no account creation required.
