How to Sign Your First Document

Received a document to sign through Inkfree? You don't need an account, an app, or any preparation — just the email in front of you. Here's exactly what to expect from click to confirmation. 

Step 1: Open the Signing Link 

1.  Open the email from Inkfree — it names the sender and the document. 

2.  Click the signing button in the email. 

3.  A landing page shows you the request details: who sent it, what's inside, and their message to you. Click through to open the document. 

 Step 2: Verify Your Identity (If Asked) 

If the sender enabled identity verification, you'll be asked for one of the following before the document opens: 

•  Email OTP — a one-time code sent to your email. Enter it on the verification screen. 

•  Access code — a password the sender shared with you separately (by phone or chat). Type it in to continue. 

Step 3: Complete Your Fields 

1.  The document opens with your fields highlighted. The counter in the top bar shows how many required fields remain — for example, "1 required field left". 

 2.  Work through each field: type text, tick checkboxes, pick dates. 

3.  If the request contains several documents, the panel on the right lists them all and tracks your progress through each. 

Step 4: Sign and Finish 

1.  Click Start signing. 

2.  Apply your signature — draw it with your mouse or finger, type it in a script style, or upload an image. 

3.  Click Finish. 

That's it. You'll see a confirmation, and once every party has signed, the completed document and certificate of completion arrive in your inbox automatically. 

Note: Not ready to sign? You can also Decline (with a reason) or Delegate the document to the right person — both options sit in the top bar.
