Google Docs Contract template

Google Docs recently introduced an eSigning feature for individual users, ideal for basic signing needs. Currently, this feature lacks support for:

- Multiple signature fields
- eSignature requests to non-Google/Gmail accounts
- A dedicated mobile eSigning experience

While this might suffice for some, if you're looking to automate eSign requests from form submissions or send bulk signature requests, Portant layers technology over Google Docs for eSignatures that you can use for free. You can duplicate this template in Google Docs here:

To digitally sign a document, follow these steps:
1. Install a digital signature software like Portant, Adobe Acrobat, or DocuSign.
2. Open your document, which could be a PDF, Google Docs, or Microsoft Word file. (e.g. Employment contracts, lease agreements, construction contract template etc)
3. Locate the 'Add Digital Signature' option in the software.
4. Create your digital signature by following the software's guidelines.
5. Place and resize your signature in the document.
6. Optionally, add date, time, or reason for signing.
7. Save the signed document.
8. Optionally, verify the signature's authenticity.
