I need to implement e-signature functionality on my client’s website. We are generating a PDF, and I already have the signature image of the authorized person. I would like to apply this e-signature to the PDF document, but I do not want to perform verification every time. Could you please suggest which APIs or Steps would be suitable for this requirement?

What you’re describing isn’t a DocuSign transaction. If you just want to paste a signature image onto a PDF and skip any signer interaction or verification, add the image during your own PDF generation. That won’t be a DocuSign eSignature, and it won’t produce a DocuSign audit trail or Certificate of Completion.

@JohnSantos It mean without verification process Qualified Electronic Sign is not possible, could you please confirm?

No, this would not qualify as a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). The signature would simply be inserted as an image on the PDF document, without any associated identity verification or advanced authentication.
