Sometimes you are the only person who needs to sign. A self-signed letter, a memo, or a one-person affidavit. Suresign handles this just like any other document, with the same proof and protection. This page shows you how.

​
When to sign it yourself

Signing alone is useful when:
  • You need a signed statement for your records.
  • You are the only party to the document.
  • You want the same legal proof and verification as a multi-signer document.
Even with no other signers, Suresign gives you a sealed PDF, a certificate of completion, and a hash-chained audit trail anyone can check.

​
How to self-sign a document

1

Upload your file

Drag a PDF, Word file, or image into your workspace, or ask the agent to draft it.
2

Place your fields

Use the field palette to add Signature, Initials, Date signed, or Text fields. The date fills itself automatically.
3

Set yourself as the signer

Assign the fields to yourself. No other recipients are needed.
4

Send and open the link

Send the document. You will receive your own signing link by email.
5

Adopt your signature

Choose a signature style, draw one, or upload an image. Tap “Adopt and sign.”
6

Finish

Tap “Finish.” The document seals immediately because you are the only signer.

​
What you get after signing

After you finish, Suresign creates:
  • A sealed, flattened PDF with your signature baked in. No one can edit it.
  • A certificate of completion showing your name, the time, and the document fingerprint.
  • An audit trail with a SHA-256 fingerprint and hash chain. Each step points to the one before it, so no one can change history.
Anyone can verify this document at https://suresign.si/verify by uploading the file.

​
Reusing your saved signature

After you sign once, Suresign saves your signature for next time. Next time you open a signing link, your saved signature appears. You can reuse it, draw a new one, or upload a different image. Your saved signatures live in Settings > Signatures. You can manage them there anytime.
Your saved signature is private to your account. No one else can see or use it.

​
What the agent can do

You can ask the agent to prepare a self-signed document for you:
  • “Create a self-signed memo.”
  • “Draft a statement of work and leave just my signature.”
The agent places the fields, assigns them to you, and shows a “Review and send” card. You press the button when ready.

​
