How it works

From prepared to signed

2

Send

Set the signing order and send. Each signer gets a secure link and a guided flow — no account, no downloads, on any device.

3

Track & store

Watch progress in real time, nudge anyone outstanding, and get the completed PDF with a full audit trail attached.

FAQ

E-signature questions

Are Folio signatures legally valid?

Yes. Folio captures each signer's intent and identity alongside a tamper-evident audit trail — time-stamped actions, IP address, and a sealed final document — meeting the requirements for electronic signatures under the UK/EU eIDAS regulations and the US ESIGN Act.

Do the people I send to need a Folio account?

No. Recipients open a secure link in their browser and complete the document through a guided flow — no account, no app, nothing to install. Only the person sending needs a Folio account.

Can I control the order people sign in?

Yes. Set a signing order and Folio invites each recipient in turn, or send to everyone at once. You can add automatic reminders and an expiry date so nothing stalls.

What do I get once everyone has signed?

A finalised PDF with every signature embedded and a complete audit trail — who signed, when, and from where — stored in your library and downloadable whenever you need it.
