In this digital age, documents are often shared wirelessly, and officials no longer provide physical signatures for paperwork. When a signature is needed, you might print the document, sign it, scan it, and then email it back. Your physical presence is not required, though this process can still be a hassle.<\/p>\n

Instead of wasting paper, ink, and time, why not use a digital signature? This article will show you how to add a digital signature to your documents. You can also apply signatures directly on your smartphones and tablets using DocuSign Ink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DocuSign Ink is an application that allows users to sign documents electronically, fill out forms, and return the signed document via email or store it in cloud storage for later use.<\/p>\n

Getting started with DocuSign Ink<\/h2>\n

To begin creating your digital signature, visit the DocuSign Ink<\/a> page, download, and install the application on your device. You can also download it directly from the Apple App Store<\/a> and Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once installed, open the application and complete the registration process. You can register with Google ID, Facebook, or Yahoo!.<\/p>\n

\"DocuSign<\/figure>\n

After registering, sign in to the application, and you will see a guide. The first step is to set your identity, making it easy to place your signature on documents. Click on the \u2018Identity\u2019 button.<\/p>\n

\"DocuSign<\/figure>\n

You will be directed to your DocuSign ID Card. Click on \u2018Manage your Signature\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Manage<\/figure>\n

In the \u2018Manage Signature\u2019 page, you can update your name and initials to be used in documents. Go to the \u2018Draw your signature\u2019 section to create your signature and initials. Once you are satisfied with the result, click the \u2018Adopt\u2019 button.<\/p>\n

\"Identity<\/figure>\n

You will see a preview of your signature and initials. Click \u2018Done\u2019 if you are satisfied.<\/p>\n

\"Identity<\/figure>\n

Placing a Signature on a Digital Document<\/h2>\n

With your DocuSign ID Card updated, open any document on your device from storage, email, or cloud. Once the document is open, you will see a button at the top right corner that says \u2018Open in DocuSign Ink\u2019. Click this button.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/figure>\n

The document will now open in the DocuSign Ink app. On the page where you want to place your signature, click on the pencil button at the top right corner to see a drop-down menu.<\/p>\n

\"Pencil<\/figure>\n

Hold down on the \u2018Signature\u2019 button and drag it to where you want to place the signature.<\/p>\n

\"Dragging<\/figure>\n

After placing it, you will see a rounded corner around the signature. Drag it again to adjust the size to fit the document.<\/p>\n

\"Adjusting<\/figure>\n

Once you are satisfied, click the \u2018Finish\u2019 button at the top right side of the DocuSign Ink app, and confirm by clicking \u2018Yes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Save<\/figure>\n

Once saved, your document will be stored in DocuSign Ink\u2019s \u2018DocuVault\u2019. You can email the document to any email address by clicking the \u2018Email\u2019 button, or delete it permanently.<\/p>\n

\"Saved<\/figure>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Using DocuSign Ink<\/a> is not only easy but also saves time and prevents unnecessary printing of documents. You can securely save your signature with DocuSign Ink and use it for all your future documents.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
