- The final PDF you want signed
- Each signer’s name and email address or phone number
- A web browser on a computer or phone
What the signer sees
Signers receive a secure link. They do not need to create a ZedSign account or install an app. They review the document, complete the highlighted fields, draw or type their signature and confirm. On a modern phone this usually takes under a minute.
What you get when signing is complete
When the last signer finishes, ZedSign seals the PDF and keeps the signed document, its audit history and a digital certificate together. Every party receives a copy, and you can retrieve the record from your dashboard at any time.

The current rates are on the ZedSign pricing page; prices are in ZMW and exclude applicable taxes.
