The certificate of completion
A readable summary of who signed, when and how, made when an envelope completes and sent with the signed PDF.
A certificate of completion is a readable summary of an envelope: the document, who signed it and in what order, when, and how each person confirmed who they were.
Where to find it
- Attached to the "Completed:" email that you, the signers and CCs receive, when it fits.
- On the download page that the email links to: Download the certificate of completion.
- On the envelope's page (open it on Home or in Agreements): Certificate of completion, and Download everything (ZIP) with the signed PDF and the activity log.
Sovrasign makes it once, when the envelope completes, from the signed PDF's own evidence and the activity it recorded.
Make one yourself
Anyone with the signed PDF can make a certificate from the evidence inside it:
- Open the verifier.
- Drop the signed PDF on it.
- Select Download certificate of completion.
The file never leaves your device.
The signed PDF is the evidence
"It is a summary; the signed PDF is the proof." The signed PDF itself carries the evidence and proves that nothing changed after each signature. Keep the PDF; the certificate alone cannot be checked the same way.
