What is Sovrasign?
Sovrasign is the e-signature service the sender used to ask you to sign. You need no account and pay nothing.
Sovrasign is an electronic signature service. A person or a company (the sender) uses it to send you a document and ask you to sign it.
- You do not need an account, and signing is free.
- The sender decides what the document says. Sovrasign only delivers it and records the signatures. It is not a party to the document and cannot change it.
- Questions about the document go to the sender. Their name and email address are in the invitation and at the top of the signing page. If you reply to the invitation, your reply goes to the sender.
What you received
An email with the subject "Please sign:" followed by the document's title. It says who asked you to sign, has a "Review and sign" button, says how you will confirm who you are and when the request expires. It ends with "Sent by Sovrasign on behalf of" the sender's name.
Not sure the email is real? Read Is this email genuine? before you open the link.
How signing works
You read the document in your browser, agree to sign electronically, fill in the fields the sender gave you, and confirm who you are with the Google, Microsoft or Apple account of your email address. Your browser then signs the document. How to sign has the steps.
What is different about it
The signed PDF carries its own evidence: who signed, how each person confirmed their email address, and proof that nothing changed after each signature. Anyone can check it later with a free verifier, without Sovrasign and without uploading the file. See What verification proves.
Sovrasign is built on its own signing engine. The free verifier that checks signed documents runs in your browser, and anyone can use it without an account.
Not expecting this?
You can ignore the email. Nothing happens unless you sign.
