Mobile Signing

Mobile signing is the process of signing business or personal documents, contracts or transactions using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.

Mobile signing requires an electronic signature app or a website that supports this process, such as SigningHub. Once you’ve downloaded the app or opened the browser, you’ll be able to upload documents that need signatures.

After uploading documents and assigning signers, you can then send the documents for signature. Users can sign using their finger, a stylus or a mouse.

• Advanced electronic signatures (AES) – These signatures use unique signing keys and provide a higher level of security than their basic counterparts.
• Qualified electronic signatures (QES) – QES are the highest level of digital signature and are the legal equivalent of handwritten signatures in most jurisdictions.
