How to request a signature
When someone else needs to sign, you request a signature instead of signing yourself. Upload the PDF, drop signature, initial and date fields where each person should sign, enter their email, and send the request. Each signer gets a secure link, no account needed to sign, and you can track who has opened and signed, send reminders, and receive a sealed, tamper-evident signed copy with an audit trail and QR verification.

Frequently asked questions
How do I request a signature on a PDF?
Upload the PDF to PDF Verified, add signature and date fields, enter the signer’s email, and send. They receive a secure link to sign, no account needed, and you get a sealed, verifiable copy back.
How do I write a signature request email?
Keep it short: greet the signer, say what the document is, note any deadline, and include the secure signing link. PDF Verified sends a clear branded request email with the link for you, so you don’t have to draft it manually.
Can I request signatures from more than one person?
Yes. Add multiple signers, set a signing order if it matters, and each person signs in turn. The audit trail records every signature and timestamp.
Is there a free way to request a signature?
Yes. You can send documents for signature pay-as-you-go with no subscription, a practical alternative to SignRequest, DocuSign and Adobe Sign for occasional signature requests.
How will I know when it’s signed?
You can track status live and get notified as each signer completes. When everyone has signed, the document is sealed with a tamper-evident fingerprint and QR verification.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
These checks are a screen, not a verdict. A clean result means nothing was found by the checks that were run, which is not the same as proof that a document is genuine, and a flagged result can have an innocent explanation such as a re-save or a scan. Read the findings rather than the headline, and where a decision carries real consequences, confirm the document with the party that issued it. It is a tool for examining a document, not for producing a forged or altered one.
PDF Verified is a tool for preparing, signing, stamping and checking documents. It is not a law firm, a compliance service or a forensic examiner, and nothing here is legal, financial or compliance advice. Requirements differ by country, by document type and by the party asking, so check what applies to your document before you rely on it, and take advice where the document matters. You are responsible for the documents you create, sign and send, and for having the authority to do so: signing or stamping in somebody else name, or as an organisation you do not represent, is forgery whatever tool is used. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for how a document made with this tool is used or relied on. The full position is in our terms of service.
