Witness field

When preparing your documents in an envelope, you have the option to include a witness field without adding them as a recipient.

When adding a witness field to an envelope, we expect the witness to be with your recipient at the time of signing, and for them to hand the device over to sign.

Once the recipient receives the envelope, they will be prompted to click on the witness field. They can then enter the name and email address of the witness who is physically present with them in the room at that time.

Once the witness is prompted to enter their details, they can sign the witness field using the same device as the recipient. After the envelope is completed, the witness's details will be included in the envelope's certificate of completion and audit log.

We highly recommend sending yourself a test envelope that includes a witness field. This will allow you to experience firsthand how the process works and familiarise yourself with adding a witness to an envelope.
