When it comes to creating a document, any text editor will do the job. But after it is converted to a different format, experience with default editing tools may be frustrating. DocHub is a tool created specifically to edit [Form Name] online. All you need to start working with documents is to create a DocHub account. When in the editor mode, all the instruments are before your eyes, and there is no need to worry about the formatting of the document that may turn out messy.

Use the intelligible toolbar to edit your form or create one from scratch. Mark the field that must be filled as such or specify the content to be added to these fields. If you need to make changes to the existing file, upload it to the interface and choose to recognize all the necessary fields as fillable. Finally, if you need your document signed, you can also do it in the interface by adding a specific signature field.

An in-person electronic signature is an eSignature captured when the signer is physically present with the document owner. It allows you to hand your device to clients, customers, or partners so they can sign on a tablet, iPad, or any touchscreen device right on the spot. This wet signature alternative combines the convenience of eSignatures with the personal touch of face-to-face interactions, making it ideal for banks, hospitals, retail locations, and sales teams.
An in-person signer is someone who signs a document during a hosted session while physically present with the document owner. You pass a shared device to the signer, who verifies their identity via email or phone before signing. This method reduces paperwork and ensures faster document turnaround while maintaining eSignature security and compliance.
The new attended signing feature in DocHub enables you to collect signatures during face-to-face meetings or appointments. Prepare your document, enable the in-person signing mode, and activate identity verification to ensure signer authentication. Your client or customer signs directly on your shared device using their finger, stylus, or by uploading a signature image.
Only the document owner needs a DocHub Pro account to host signing sessions. The in-person signer doesn't require an account, login credentials, or email address to complete the signature process. This streamlined approach eliminates technical barriers, allowing you to close deals faster without complicated setup requirements.
DocHub's in-person electronic signatures are legally binding and compliant with the key industry regulations (ESIGN Act and UETA). Each signature includes a tamper-proof audit trail that records timestamps, IP addresses, and verification details to ensure document authenticity.
Attended signing offers faster document turnaround than email-based workflows, allowing you to eliminate printing and scanning while maintaining the personal connection of face-to-face interactions. It enhances customer experience as clients complete documents immediately without checking their email or remembering passwords.
The digital signature in-person feature is an advanced functionality designed to help businesses close deals faster and streamline workflows. It is currently available exclusively for DocHub’s Pro users. If you have a Free or Basic subscription, upgrade to Pro to host an attended signing session.
On-the-spot eSignatures are highly beneficial for immediate, personal interactions like sales contracts, client onboarding, front desk waivers, or event registration. They allow instant signing in the presence of a client, eliminating email follow-ups. This streamlines workflows for time-sensitive tasks, like event registrations, bank services, signing sales contracts or NDAs, or document notarization.
An electronic signature (eSignature) is a broad term for any electronic symbol, sound, or process that indicates a person's intent to sign and agree to the terms of a document. It can often be as simple as a typed name, a drawn signature, or an image of a handwritten signature attached to a document. A digital signature, however, is a specific, technology-driven type of eSignature that relies on cryptographic techniques like Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
In the U.S., electronic signatures are legally valid for most commercial and legal documents under laws like the ESIGN Act and UETA. However, wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, adoption, or divorce papers often still require a traditional wet signature. Always check local laws to ensure an eSignature is legally acceptable, especially for documents that need notarization or have specific legal requirements.
