How to Sign a Document You've Received

Jul 31, 20262 min read

Someone sent you a document through Inkfree — here's the complete walkthrough, from the email in your inbox to the signed copy coming back to you. No account, no app, no printing. 

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

2.  Click the signing button. A landing page shows the request details and the sender's message. 

 3.  Continue to the document. 

Step 2: Verify If Asked 

If the sender enabled verification, complete it before the document opens: 

•  Email OTP — enter the one-time code just sent to your inbox. 

•  Access code — enter the code the sender shared with you separately. 

Step 3: Fill Your Fields 

1.  Your fields are highlighted; the top bar counts required ones down ("1 required field left"). 

 2.  Type text, tick boxes, pick dates. Multiple documents? The right-hand panel lists them all and tracks your progress through each. 

Step 4: Sign and Finish 

1.  Click Start signing

2.  Apply your signature — draw, type, or upload an image of it. 

3.  Click Finish

You'll see a confirmation. Once every party has signed, the completed document and certificate of completion land in your inbox automatically. 

Note: Not the right person, or something looks wrong? The top bar also offers Decline (with a reason) and Delegate (hand it to the right person) — both are legitimate, recorded outcomes.
