Sign a document someone sent you
You can review and sign a document from its private link without a Makeform account or payment.
- Open the Review and sign link the sender shared with you. You'll get it in an email from Makeform or straight from the sender. If the page says Waiting for {name} to sign first, wait for the sender to sign before continuing.
- Read the document under Document. You can't change its text or the sender's answers.
- Fill in your fields under Your details. Required fields have an asterisk. Each answer can be up to 4,000 characters. If there are no fields, the page says "Nothing to fill in. Just sign below."
- If the page asks for Your email, enter your own address, not the sender's. This appears when the sender's plan doesn't include email invitations.
- Under Your signature, choose Type to enter your full name, up to 120 characters, or Draw to sign in the box. Choose Clear to start drawing again. You can't upload a signature image.
- Read Agreement to sign electronically, select I agree to use electronic records and signatures, then select Sign. Your signature applies to all your signature lines. The page doesn't save unfinished answers, so complete the form before closing it.
If something required is missing, the page shows "Fill in this field." Complete it before you sign. You can't change or withdraw your signature after selecting Sign.
After signing, you can download the signed PDF from the page. You'll also receive a copy by email. If you don't want to sign, don't select Sign. There's no Decline button, so contact the sender to decline or to ask for a paper copy.
If your link doesn't work, ask the sender for a new one.
