How to Add Multiple Signers to an E-Signature Document

Set up two or more signers on a new E-signature Document, map their fields and track who has signed

Written by Serena Edwards

When you create a new E-signature Document, you can have more than one person sign it. Examples include both Account Holders, a guardian or a director. For help creating the Document itself, see How to Create, Test and Send an E-signature Document.

Before You Start

  • Signers can only be added when you create a new E-signature Document. To add a signer to an existing Document, you'll need to re-create it

  • Only one Enroll Form field can be used as a signer email

  • All signers must be 18 or older

Signer Types

The first signer is usually the Primary Account Holder. You can add other signers using these types:

  • Secondary Account Holder: Sends the Document to the Secondary Account Holder

  • Enroll Form field: Sends the Document to an email address collected on your Enroll Form, such as a guardian or grandparent

  • Typed email: Sends the Document to a set email address you enter, such as a director who needs to sign first

Step 1 — Add an Email Field to Your Enroll Form

Skip this step unless you're using the Enroll Form field signer type.

  • Go to My Company > Forms > Enroll Form

  • Add an Email Address field under Primary Account Holder, Secondary Account Holder, Enrollee or Custom Fields

  • Put the field on the Enroll Form, not on a Program Form

Step 2 — Add Signers in the Design Editor

  • Go to My Company > Forms > Documents

  • Click the pencil icon next to the Document

  • In the Setup tab, click the blue plus button to add a signer

  • Choose a signer type:

    • For Enroll Form field, select the email field you created in step 1

    • For a typed email, enter the email address

  • Put signers in the order they should sign. The signer at the top gets the Document first

Step 3 — Map Fields for Each Signer

In the Design Editor, assign signature and text fields to each signer:

  • Add a signature field and a date field for each signer

  • Add initial fields for any signer who needs to initial

  • Assign at least one field to Signer 2

What Signers Can Expect

  • The Document is sent to the first signer's email

  • After the first signer signs, it goes to the next signer

  • When everyone has signed, all signers get an email from noreply@mail.hellosign.com with the subject line Everyone has signed [Company Name] - [Document Name]

If the same email address is used for two signers, that person gets a second email after signing the first time and has to sign twice.

Track Signatures and Send Reminders

You can check whether each signer has signed and send reminders to anyone who hasn't.

Change a Signer's Email

  • Go to the Documents tab

  • Click the pencil icon on the Document

  • Enter the new email address

This only changes where that Document is sent. The email on file for the account stays the same.

Add an Admin Signature to a PDF — Before Uploading

If a director only needs to sign once, you can add their signature to the PDF before you upload it. If the director needs to sign each Document individually, add them as a typed email signer instead.

Create a Digital Signature

  • Go to a free signature tool such as SignWell

  • Type the name and choose a font

  • Select Transparent Background

  • Download the signature as a PNG file
