eSign a Document Sent to You by an Organization
To eSign a document sent by an organization via Proof, open the invitation email from noreply@proof.com, click "Sign Document Now," review and complete the document including any pre-populated fields, add your digital signature or initials to required fields, and finalize by selecting "Complete signing," with options to resume later or get support if needed.
The short answer: You can eSign a document sent to you by a title agency, lender, or business without a notary meeting. Here's how.
1. Open the Invitation Email
Open the email from noreply@proof.com and select the Sign Document Now button to begin.

3. Review and Fill Out the Document
Use the provided tools to review and complete the document.
If the sender pre-populated any fields, confirm that the information is accurate. Optional fields will be marked — you can complete the document without filling those out.
Next, select any signature or initial fields to create your digital signature.
