Place fields and assign signers
Add signature, initials, and date fields, then assign each to the right person. Add more than one signer if the document needs several signatures.

How do I request a signature on a document?
Upload your PDF, add signature and date fields, assign them to each signer, and send the request by email. You can then track signing status in real time.
Is requesting a signature free?
Yes. DocHub's Free plan lets you send up to 3 signature requests a month at no cost. For unlimited requests, upgrade to Pro. A free account is required to send.
Can I request signatures from several people?
Yes. Assign each recipient their own fields and, if needed, set the order they sign in — each person signs from their own device.
Do recipients need a DocHub account to sign?
No. Signers open your request in any modern browser and can sign without creating a DocHub account of their own.
Are these signatures legally valid?
Yes. Signatures collected through DocHub comply with the US ESIGN Act and UETA, and the EU eIDAS SES tier, and every document carries an audit trail.
How will I know when it's signed?
DocHub updates status in real time and notifies you as each recipient opens and signs, so you always know what's outstanding.
