Legally Binding

The DigiCert Document Signing Certificate complies with the U.S. Federal ESIGN Act and other various international laws – this makes documents digitally signed with this certificate legally binding. These documents (depending on your location) can be for financial investments, building leases, legal purposes, insurance or medical documents, or any other essential documents that require a signature.

In today’s digital world, it’s vital we can send documents that move our projects along. It’s just not efficient to hand sign every important document, especially when you then need to scan it, upload it and so on. We need a legally binding and safe way to digitally sign and send documents—that’s what the DigiCert Document Signing Certificate provides.

Adobe Trusted

The DigiCert Document Signing Certificate works in all popular document programs, including being listed on the coveted Adobe Approved Trust List. If you sign a document that is not compatible with these programs, or not included on the Adobe’s Trust List, the recipient will receive an error message when they open your document. This is why having a premier certificate that is trusted across the industry is so vital!

Securely Send Documents

So, you can legally sign digital documents, that’s pretty neat. But this document signing certificate does more than that! By digitally signing your document with this cert, your recipient can verify your identity and know if the document was tampered with. Basically, if a hacker tampered with the document you signed with your DigiCert Document Signing Certificate, your recipient would receive a warning that the document was tampered with.

In addition, DigiCert protects your private key that you use to digitally sign your documents using two-factor authentication. The two factors are a password that you create and encrypted USB token that is physically shipped to you after your purchase of the certificate. This means that only you (the owner of the USB and password) can sign a document with your certificate. And, DigiCert, a trusted leader in the industry, verifies who you are before issuing the certificate. Making it a more secure and trusted way to sign and send documents.

Document Signing vs. E-Signatures

E-signatures do not prove the identity of the sender nor do they protect the document’s authenticity. Basically, anyone can sign a document with an e-signature – it’s nothing more than a typed name.

DigiCert Document Signing Certificates are a much more secure way to sign and send documents:
