Verath Sign is in early access. Features marked as coming soon reflect our design intent and may change.
Why it matters
A signature is only as good as the identity behind it.
Most e-signature tools prove that someone clicked a link in an email. They don’t prove who that person is, and a scanned signature pasted into a document proves even less.
Verath Sign is designed around identity first: confirmed signers, a clear record of every step, and a fingerprint of the final document that anyone can check.
How it works
How Verath Sign works
- 1
Upload and classify
Upload the PDF and choose what kind of document it is. Verath flags document types that need extra care, and blocks those Nigerian law doesn’t allow to be signed electronically.
- 2
Add signers
Add each signer and place their signature boxes on the pages.
- 3
Signers confirm and sign
Each signer confirms who they are, reads the document and signs by drawing or typing their signature.
- 4
Sealed and shared
Everyone receives the signed copy with a signing certificate, and anyone can check that a copy hasn’t been changed.

FAQ
Questions, answered
When can I use Verath Sign?
Verath Sign is in early access with selected Verath partners. Join the waitlist and we’ll let you know when it opens more widely.
Are electronic signatures legal in Nigeria?
Yes, for most documents. The Evidence Act 2011 and the Cybercrimes Act 2015 recognise electronic signatures, with exceptions such as wills, family-law documents and the sale or transfer of land. Verath Sign won’t let you send those document types for e-signature.
Do signers need a Verath account?
No. Signers open a secure link from their email and confirm who they are before signing.
