How to get documents signed remotely
Remote signing means your signer can be in another city, country, or timezone and still sign your document in minutes. All they need is a browser.
Email-based signing
Upload your document, add signature fields, enter the signer's email, and send. They receive an email with a secure link. Click, sign, done. No account, no app, no meeting.
Works across timezones
Send a document at 9 AM your time, and your signer in Tokyo can sign it at their convenience. The audit trail captures the exact UTC timestamp, so there's never ambiguity about when something was signed.
Multiple remote signers
Need five people in three countries to sign the same document? Set a signing order or let everyone sign in parallel. Track progress from your dashboard and send reminders as needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is a remotely signed document legally binding?
Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding regardless of where the signer is located. The ESIGN Act and international equivalents (eIDAS in the EU) ensure cross-border validity.
What if my signer is in another country?
No problem. SignOwl works worldwide. Over 60 countries recognize electronic signatures as legally valid. The signing link works from any location with internet access.
