Pre-Fill Sender's Signature

Hello!

I’m working on creating several templates that will include a pre-filled signature for one of our company representatives. I’d like the templates to have the individual’s signature pre-populated prior to the form being sent out for client signatures, as this form is sent out multiple times a day.

Is this possible? I’ve been doing this work on Docusign’s site directly. The sender would not be the same individual who has the authority to sign. Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

I can’t think of any, sorry.  To be clear, I don’t work for DocuSign.  I’m just a user sharing info with other users.

For your situation, you could maybe do a work-around by including an image of a signature or maybe the person’s face and signature.  Something that makes it personal, but not legally binding.

If you have a small number of these to do, then you could theoretically set your rep as Recipient 1, and some placeholder email for Recipient 2.  Send a dozen of these to your rep, have them sign off on them.  Then you “correct” the envelope to update the email for Recipient 2 to be whomever it is you want to send it to.  That way you’d have signed blank envelopes in a round-about way.

To my knowledge, this is not possible--mainly for legal reasons, I’d imagine.  DocuSign probably doesn’t want someone prepping the envelopes for a company rep to be able to send out pre-signed agreements because the prepper could be putting the representative and the company on the hook for unknown liabilities.

Hi Drewcifer,

 

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I had a feeling this wouldn’t be possible, for the reasoning you mentioned above. Do you happen to have any docs supporting this? It’d be handy for me to reference in the future :) Thanks again!
