Create an EasyLink for Signers to Upload Documents
The content explains how to create a shareable EasyLink in Proof that allows signers to upload documents and initiate notarization, verification, or eSignature transactions by setting up the link once with customizable options like signature type, identity verification, signer limits, CC contacts, and payment responsibility, and then sharing it via URL, QR code, or print while following best practices to ensure proper use and management.
The short answer: Create a shareable EasyLink so signers can upload documents and start a transaction — set it up once and share via URL, QR code, or print.
Options for Signer-Upload EasyLinks
Signer-upload EasyLinks support the following transaction types:
- Notarization
- Verification of fact
- eSignature
If your organization has template matching enabled, the system will attempt to match documents uploaded by signers to existing templates in your account.
Best Practices
Follow these best practices to get the most out of your signer-upload EasyLinks.
- Instruct your signers to use your specific link to ensure they have the intended experience and are connected with you or your in-house notaries, if applicable.
- Keep track of how and where you share your EasyLinks so you know when to update or remove them if necessary.
