UK electronic signatures
Electronic signatures, kept simple.
Send a PDF, have it signed on any phone or computer, and get back a signed copy with a clear record of how and when it was signed. The people signing don't need an account or an app.
Recorded: name, time, IP address, browser, and a fingerprint of the document before and after signing.
How it works
From PDF to signed copy in three steps
Prepare the document
Upload a PDF and drag boxes onto it for signatures, dates, text and tick boxes. Save it once and reuse it as often as you like.
Send a private link
Enter the signer's name and email. They receive a private link that expires, and you can see at a glance who has signed.
Get the signed copy
The signer reads the document, types their name, chooses a signature style and agrees. The signed PDF is stored, and a copy is emailed to them.
Built for real paperwork
More than a signature box
✓Forms you can fill in as well as sign
Text boxes and tick boxes sit alongside signatures. Lock some answers in advance, pre-fill others, and leave the rest for the signer.
✓Works on any device
Signers open a link on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and no password to remember.
✓A record behind every signature
Each signing keeps the signer's name, the time, their IP address and browser, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the document before and after, so you can show later that it hasn't been altered.
✓Easy for the signer
Read the document, fill in any boxes, type your name, pick a handwriting style and agree. The signature and date are stamped straight onto the PDF.
Where it came from
Made to stop printing, signing and scanning
SignVault grew out of a signing tool built for a UK nursery, so parents could sign childcare funding forms from their phones instead of printing and returning paper. It now runs as a system of its own, used by that nursery and, in time, by other organisations connected with the people who run it.
