Execution copies with evidence built to be examined
Lawyers don't just need documents signed — they need to prove it later, sometimes in front of a judge. SignSwifly seals every completed document to the PAdES standard and hands you a certificate of completion designed for scrutiny.
What slows this work down
Execution logistics
Multiple signatories, counterparts and witnesses turn completion into project management.
Evidentiary weight
A flat PDF signature image proves little; provenance is what persuades.
Statutory formalities
Some instruments still require wet ink or prescribed witnessing — the boundary matters.
How SignSwifly helps
Ordered execution
Route signatories in the order the document requires. Each witness is asked as soon as the person they witness has signed, and later steps wait for them.
Cryptographic sealing
PAdES digital seal with a trusted timestamp; any later alteration is detectable in a standard PDF reader.
Hash-chained audit trail
Each event cryptographically covers the last — deletion or edit breaks the chain visibly.
Clear about the limits
Our legal-compliance guidance sets out the ETA basis, the kinds of document where electronic signing may not suit, and what SignSwifly’s witnessing does and doesn’t record.
