Can someone tell me what the above message means?  is it just the disclosure that we wont see or does this negate the electronic signature all together.

Total Nube here, any information would be appreciated.

Hello ​@Hey now.,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We appreciate your question and assure you that we are fully committed to providing you with the best service possible. 

Upon checking, "Not Offered via Docusign" in your Certificate of Completion (CoC) indicates that the sender has disabled the display of the Electronic Records and Signature Disclosure (ERSD). This can happen for a couple of reasons:
Sender Configuration: The sender may have chosen not to offer the ERSD for the document you are signing.
Network Connectivity Issues: In rare cases, this message may appear due to network connectivity issues on your end, even if your account is configured to display the ERSD. In such instances, while the service still requires acceptance of the ERSD notice before proceeding to signature, a date/time stamp will not be reflected on the CoC.
If you think the ERSD date/time stamp is missing from your CoC in error, it is recommended that the sender re-execute the envelope.

Hello, @LeoC_1971 

 

Welcome to the Docusign Community!

 

Depending of your account settings the ERSD is not offered. See the figure:

 

If the legal disclosure was not required due to the account settings or if a signer is a member of the sender's account, it is listed as "Not Offered via DocuSign" and is not attached to the CoC.

 

Let me know if I answered your question.

 

Best,

Alexandre

Can I change this status for my own signature?  I see other people’s signatures in my department say “Accepted” with a date and ID, but mine says “Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure: Not Offered via Docusign”.  I would like to be the same.

Thank you for the response! 

Sometimes I am the sender, and everyone else’s info shows - I’m the only one who’s does not.  How do I configure my account to display ESRD?  How do I look to see how it is configured?

In terms of connectivity - I am connected the same as everyone else in my office, as far as I know.

Hello ​@Hey now.,


Administrators can customize fields in the form and configure the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD) in Docusign. So, I highly recommend that you contact your administrator instead.

What if I never actually accepted the Electronic Signature disclosure?  Would that cause this problem?  Can I initiate that process again?  Or is that something my administrator will need to do too?

Thank you for your help!

Hello ​@Hey now.,

I highly suggest contacting your admin to check on the account settings and how the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD) has been configured.
You may also want to check this relevant article: Enable the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure for Your Account.

Highlighting this in the article.

  1. Specify how often recipients who must sign or view your documents must accept the ERSD. This setting applies only to those recipients who hold Docusign accounts. Regardless of this frequency setting, recipients who are not account holders must accept the ERSD for every envelope they receive from your account. Setting options:
    • Once for this account. A recipient has to accept the disclosure only for the first envelope they sign from your account. Future envelopes sent by anyone on the account will not offer the disclosure. If a recipient does not have an active Docusign account, future envelopes will prompt the recipient to accept the disclosure again.
    • First time viewing each envelope sent from this account. A recipient has to accept the disclosure only the first time they open a specific envelope. They must accept the ERSD once for each envelope they receive from any sender on your account.
    • First viewing each time the recipient appears in the signing order. A recipient must accept the ERSD the first time they view each envelope they receive from any sender on your account. If the recipient is listed multiple times in the routing order for an envelope, they must accept the ERSD again for each subsequent time they are required to act on the envelope.

I have had the same issue with the ESRD not showing up on my account and have had to put in multiple tickets.

Every answer I get is:  Navigate to Admin then legal disclosure to select the ESRD but the problem is I DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL DISCLOSURE option in my account.

 

So frustrating!

I had this problem a while back.  My account is set up through my company, and I did not have the Legal Disclosure option on my account either.  Finally, I convinced my company Docusign Adminstrator to look into it.  There was a setting they changed that impacted everyone in the company.  Changing that setting fixed my problem.  I do not know more details.

Hello ​@gpfaison 
I understand how frustrating this is, especially when you’re being directed to a setting that isn’t even visible in your account. The “Legal Disclosure” (ERSD settings) is not available to all users by default. If you’re not seeing this option, it typically means one of the following:
You don’t have the required admin permissions, or the ERSD feature is not enabled on your account/plan. 
As you mentioned that you already have multiple tickets regarding this matter, could you share the ticket numbers via private message so we can check them further?

Here’s a relevant article for your reference.
Enable the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure for Your Account

Hello,

I appreciate you reaching out and have been waiting for that 30 minute callback all day but nothing.  The original case I submitted whereas they said it was fixed on 02/20/2026 is: 16847426.  The case I submitted today that is still open is: 17220419.

Like you said I am 100% certain that my account does not have this option because I am the admin.  I simply want to add the option.

Please let me know if you need any additional information with me.  Again, I am the admin on the account.

Thank You

And BTW the private messages aren’t working for me; When it hit the send button in the lower right hand corner I just get 3 dots and it never goes through.
