Signed a document - Then what?

Question

Hi,

A question from a complete newbie, both in DocuSign, both as signed electronically documents.

Once I signed a document, is the signed document “stay signed on its own”? What I mean is … do I need to keep paying DocuSign to have a copy of the signed document? Or, if I keep a copy of that signed document in a folder in my computer or my email as attachment, the document is still signed?

Related to this, I will need to sign 5 documents a year. I can imagine that whenever I need to sign a document, I will have to pay DocuSign for that month, right? I dont need to pay the months before or after.

Thanks,

Juan

​@jhuertaOnce you sign a document through DocuSign, it stays signed permanently. You don’t need to keep paying DocuSign for it to remain valid. If you download the signed document and store it on your computer, email, or cloud storage, it remains legally binding just like any other signed document.You can always verify a DocuSign-signed document’s authenticity by checking the Certificate of Completion, which is attached to the document when it’s finalized.
