Hello,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.

For security reasons, the plan type you have was removed from your question.

I understand that the option to add a witness is not visible to you.

You would need the assistance of your account admin to enable this option, if you are them, then you can go to:

  1. the Settings tab
  2. Select Sending Settings
  3. Under Recipient Roles, you would need to enable the option "Enable Witness Signing (Allow sender to assign a witness for signers)": https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=pik1583277475390&topicId=bcy1583277350761.html&_LANG=enus
  4. Save

Once you have that done, you can go and create the needed envelope and the option to add a witness would be available in the "Needs to sign" dropdown: https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=gav1643676262430&topicId=vxm1578456555674.html&_LANG=enus

Let us know if you need further assistance with this.
