Instead of sending an email to the signatory, you open the document on your device, hand it to the signer, and they sign directly on your screen. The signature is captured and the document is completed immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>In-person signing is ideal for: point-of-sale agreements (signing a service contract at a customer&#8217;s premises), event registrations (capturing consent at a conference or trade show), medical consents (patient signs at the clinic on the doctor&#8217;s tablet), and any situation where the other party does not have a device or email access.<\/p>\n<h2>Authentication<\/h2>\n<p>In-person signing has lighter authentication (no email verification) because the signer&#8217;s physical presence is considered identity confirmation. If stronger evidence is needed, use Aadhaar eSign or require the signer to type their name and date before drawing their signature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>How does In-Person Signing work in Zoho Sign?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In-Person Signing allows a host to present a document on their device (tablet or laptop) to a signer who is physically present.
