Electronic signatures with legal validity for enrollment contracts, consent forms, and the rest of your institution's documents. Shrink the line at the school office and offer a simple process for guardians, students, and teachers.
What schools, colleges and technical programs send for signature most, from the front office to HR.
The financially responsible guardian signs from wherever they are and the spot is confirmed the same day, no appointment at the school office.
The contract is the same every year; class, tuition and school year change. With the wording ready in a template, renewing becomes filling in fields.
Lab use, student pickup, field trips: the guardian takes on the commitment in writing, and the school keeps proof of who authorized it.
Each school year the staff renews: teacher and coordinator contracts come back signed before the first day of class, even with the team on break.
Event photos and marketing material depend on consent from whoever answers for the student. The signed authorization stays filed for reference.
Student, school and host company sign the same agreement, each through their own link.
The path of the institution's most recurrent document inside Signater, in four steps.
The school contract is always the same; student, guardian, class and tuition enter as fields on a single-screen form.
The invitation arrives with the envelope link. They review the contract on their phone, validate their identity with the code received and sign without a trip to the school office.
Once the signatures are complete, the certificate of completion consolidates the full history and the contract is filed in the school year's vault, visible to whoever the school authorizes.
Your academic system sends each family's data through the API, generates the contracts from the template and publishes the envelopes, with no manual typing.
Identity factors configurable per signer: every recorded validation becomes evidence in the envelope's certificate of completion.
The routine factor for anyone with an active inbox: a 6-digit code reaches the registered email address and must be entered before signing.
For the guardian who handles everything on their phone, the code arrives in the same app they already use to talk to the school, no email required.
The school office sets a password and shares it with the family in person or by phone. The signature only moves forward with the correct password.
The nine available factors, from a code by SMS to the selfie with liveness detection, are on the Identity validation page.
Each card leads to the feature's full page, with how it works in detail.
The enrollment contract becomes a model with typed fields, and each edit creates a new version, recorded in the envelope that used it.
The same family's contract, forms and authorizations move together, with guardians signing in sequential order or in parallel.
Your academic management system assembles, publishes and tracks envelopes in REST calls.
One vault per campus, program or school year. Access is decided at the vault, and search finds the right contract later.
Yes. The signing invitation can be sent by SMS or WhatsApp, with the envelope link right in the message, and identity validation can use a code sent through the same channel. Email is one of the paths, not a requirement.
When the institution's contract calls for more than one guardian, the same envelope handles it: each signer receives their own link and validates their identity with their own factors, in sequential order or in parallel. The envelope only completes when everyone signs, and the certificate of completion records each signature.
With templates and the API: the contract becomes a template with typed fields, your academic system sends each family's values, receives the generated document and forwards it in an envelope, all through API calls. On the platform, generation also works through the single-screen form.
Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and the EU's eIDAS regulation recognize electronic signatures; in Brazil, private-instrument contracts, like educational services agreements, can be signed electronically under MP 2,200-2/2001. Signater produces an advanced electronic signature based on a digital certificate, in the PAdES standard, and the certificate of completion gathers each signer's identity evidence.
Yes, in real time: views, signatures, refusals and completion show up as notifications on the platform. Automatic reminders nudge whoever has not signed yet, which helps in the home stretch of the enrollment period.
