How to sign a lease agreement online
A lease is the document most likely to be signed badly: printed, initialled on some pages, photographed at an angle, and returned in three parts by three people. It is also the one where the record matters months later, when somebody disputes what was agreed. Sending it for signature takes minutes and produces one clean file with every initial in place and a record of who did what.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sign a lease agreement online?
Upload the lease, add the landlord, the tenant and any guarantor as signers, put required initials on the pages that need them, and send it. Everyone signs in a browser and the finished lease comes back as one file with an audit certificate.
Can a tenancy agreement be signed electronically?
In most places, yes, for ordinary residential and commercial tenancies. Some jurisdictions treat long leases as deeds with their own execution requirements, including witnessing. Check the rule for the lease length and country in question.
Do all parties need an account?
No. Signers open a link and sign in the browser. Only the person sending it needs an account.
Can the agency stamp go on it too?
Yes. Design the agency stamp once and place it beside the signature, with a date that fills itself in.
What if the tenant has no printer or scanner?
That is the point of doing it this way: they need a phone and a browser, and nothing else.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
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.
