Creating Your Account
A step-by-step guide to joining DocuSigner.

Welcome to DocuSigner! Creating an account is quick and easy. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Navigate to the Sign-Up Page

From our homepage or any page on the DocuSigner website, click on the "Sign Up" or "Get Started Free" button. This will take you to the account creation form.

Step 2: Enter Your Account Details

You will be asked to provide the following information:

  • Full Name: Enter your full legal name. This will be used to identify you on documents.
  • Email Address: Provide a valid email address. This will be your primary login ID and where you'll receive important notifications and verification emails.
  • Password: Create a strong, unique password for your account. Ensure it meets the minimum length requirement (usually 8 characters) and consider using a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
  • Confirm Password: Re-enter your password to ensure accuracy.

Make sure all information is accurate before proceeding.

Step 3: Verify Your Email Address

After submitting your account details, we will send a verification email to the address you provided. This is a crucial security step.

  1. Check your email inbox (and spam/junk folder, just in case) for an email from DocuSigner.
  2. Open the email and click on the verification link or button.
  3. This will confirm your email address and usually redirect you back to the DocuSigner platform, possibly to the next step of registration or your dashboard.

If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, there might be an option to resend it on the verification page.

Step 4: Set Up Your Signature

Once your email is verified, you'll be prompted to set up your electronic signature. This is the signature that will appear on documents you sign.

You can typically create your signature by:

  • Drawing: Use your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen to draw your signature directly on the screen.
  • Typing: Type your name and select from a variety of handwritten-style fonts.
  • Uploading: (If available) Upload an image of your physical signature.

Review your signature and confirm it. This signature will be saved to your profile and can be updated later in your account settings.

Step 5: Registration Complete!

Congratulations! Your DocuSigner account is now set up. You will typically be redirected to your dashboard, where you can start uploading documents, creating templates, and managing your e-signature workflows.

We recommend exploring your dashboard and profile settings to familiarize yourself with all the features available.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Email not received? Double-check your spam/junk folder. Ensure you entered your email address correctly. Try the "Resend verification email" option if available.
  • Password issues? Make sure your password meets the minimum security requirements. If you forget your password later, you can use the "Forgot Password" link on the sign-in page.
