The problem

What to check before you choose eSignature software in Canada

BoldSign answers each of these checks before your first document goes out.

Works in: the BoldSign web app in any browser, the iOS and Android apps, and the BoldSign API.

  • Where the files are kept

    Your clients or your own policy expect records to stay in Canada. You need to say where they are.

    With BoldSignYour files stay in Toronto, in the Canadian region. See where files are stored

  • Signers who prefer another language

    Not every client reads English first. An English-only request slows them down.

    With BoldSignEach signer gets emails and pages in their own language. See what signers get

  • Whether the signature holds up

    Someone asks if an electronic signature is legally binding in Canada, and who signed what.

    With BoldSignEvery signed copy keeps an audit trail. See legal validity

For your signers

What do your signers see?

With BoldSign, your signers open the request from email and sign in the browser. They need no account and install nothing.

  • Their own language

    Choose from 15 languages, French included, for each signer’s emails and signing pages.

  • A check before they open it

    Ask for an access code, email OTP, or SMS OTP so only the right person opens the document.

  • A signed copy for everyone

    When the last person signs, each signer gets the completed document by email.

Sample signing page on a phone: a service agreement for Emily Carter, with her name and date filled in and a signature field left for her
