When using the DocuSign frame on documents, are the number below the signature randomly assigned? 

For example, if I sign numerous documents - will the numbers below my name at the bottom of the frame always be the same? Or do they change from document to document?

Please see below (the identifying signature has been removed)

The numbers displayed beneath your signature in the signing frame are not randomly generated. These numbers represent the DocuSign Signature ID (also referred to as the Signature GUID), which is associated with your DocuSign user profile and the email address used to sign.

If you sign using a different email address, a different Signature ID may be generated because it is tied to the signer’s identity, not to an individual document.

It’s important to distinguish the Signature ID from the certificate of completion and audit trail details. Information such as the envelope ID, document ID, timestamps, IP address, and signing events are unique to each document and each signing session. These values change from envelope to envelope to ensure every transaction is uniquely identified, secure, and fully traceable.
