Signing an agreement legally identified, accepted by authorities
Hi there!
Can I upload an agreement that the other participant has to sign legally identified with any of their legal document (ID, passport, etc.).
What happens if I had to prove to an authority (Hungary, EU) that the document is signed by a real person (BTW who lives in the other side of the globe). Will they (the authorities) accept the undersigning? How can I or the authorities check whether the other participant used their real name and other information?

Hello @Adam Mono,
Thanks for reaching out here in the Docusign Community—great to have you here!
You can use Docusign’s ID Verification feature to require signers to prove their identity by uploading government-issued IDs (passport, driver’s license, etc.). The system also keeps an audit trail of the verification steps, which can support compliance and record-keeping.
We can only provide general information about ID Verification features and electronic signatures, but we cannot offer legal advice or guarantee how authorities will interpret or accept the signatures.
Thanks for understanding. Let us know if you have more questions—we’re always here to help.

Thank You!
I’ve followed the link in your answer, then followed another link to “Send Documents With ID Verificition”, then another to “Recipient Identity Verification” then finally I’ve found out that I have to enable the Recipient Authentication in my Security Settings. So I went to the page that describes the Security Settings but the information where can I find these settings wasn’t there. But eventually I’ve found the Privacy and Security settings. There is nothing related to enabling Recipient Authentication on that page. I’m about to give up.
I’ve already spent hours looking for informations on how I can use this function, where can I find it, etc. Still no clue.

Thank you very much! Please help me with a few follow up questions:
Does the Personal Plan fit the requirements of the ID verification add-on? Or it is available only from Standard or higher tiers?
Is the ID verification add-on free / one-time purchase / subscription?
In case it is not free, where can I get information of its pricing before upgrading my plan?
