How to Send a Contract for Signature in Two Minutes

The MauriSign Team · 2 April 2026 · 5 min read

There's a particular kind of afternoon that disappears on you. You need one signature on one document, and somehow it eats an hour: print the thing, realise the printer's out of toner, find the other printer, sign it, scan it, email it, wait, chase, re-scan because the first copy was crooked. By the time it's done you've forgotten what you were actually working on.

It doesn't have to go like that. Here's the entire flow on MauriSign, start to finish. We'll time it.

Step one: bring in your document

You've got two ways in, depending on what you're holding. If you already have a PDF — an offer letter, a service agreement, a quote — just upload it. Word document? MauriSign converts DOCX to PDF for you, so you don't have to fiddle with "Save As" first. And if you don't have a file at all, you can write the agreement right in the browser with a proper rich-text editor, or start from one of the ready-made templates in the library. No document, no problem.

Elapsed time: about thirty seconds.

Step two: say who signs, and where

Add the people who need to sign — name and email — and drop the signature fields onto the page by dragging them where they belong. If you'd rather not hunt for the right spot, let the AI field detection take a first pass: it reads the document, finds the likely signature and date lines, and places the fields for you. You just nudge anything it missed. Need more than one signer? Set the order — everyone at once, or one after another in sequence.

The person signing never needs an account, a password, or an app. They click a link, and they sign. That's the whole ask.

Elapsed time: another minute, give or take.

Step three: hit send

That's it. MauriSign emails each signer a secure link. When they open it, they're asked for a one-time code sent to their email — a quick check that the right person is signing — and then they sign on whatever device they have, phone or laptop. They can type their name or draw their signature. No download, no sign-up, no friction on their end, which is exactly why documents come back faster.

You'll see the status update as it moves: sent, viewed, signed. No more wondering whether it landed in a spam folder or got buried.

What happens when everyone's signed

The moment the last signature lands, MauriSign seals the document — a cryptographic signature over the final version plus a complete, tamper-evident audit trail of who did what and when. You get a finished PDF you can download, and a permanent record you can stand behind. If anyone ever questions it, they can verify it themselves at maurisign.mu/verify.

Total time: roughly two minutes of your attention, versus an afternoon of the print-scan-chase routine. Automatic reminders handle the nudging if a signer goes quiet, so you can genuinely send it and move on.

Try it on something real

The best way to feel the difference is to send an actual document — not a demo, a real one off your desk. MauriSign has a free 14-day trial, no card required. Pick the next thing that needs a signature and see how much of your afternoon you get back.
