Signatures without the printer

E-signatures for APD agency forms and consents

Waiversoft E-Sign sends a PDF to the people who need to sign it: a new caregiver, a consumer, a guardian or your own office. Each signer gets a secure link by email and signs on any device without an account. When everyone has signed, the signed PDF is filed on the right record.

How it works

From your own forms to a signed copy on file

Use the forms your agency already has. Set them up once, then send them in a click whenever a hire or a new consumer needs them.

Templates

Set up each form once

Upload the PDF you already use, like a handbook acknowledgment or a consumer rights form, and name who signs it: Employee and Owner, or Consumer and Guardian. On the web, drag fields onto the page for each signer. Save it as a template and every later send starts from the same layout.
  • Signature, initials, full name, date, text and checkbox fields
  • Each signer's fields in their own color
  • Ask a signer to attach a file, like a CPR card or an ID

Send from the record

Send it from the document that's missing

On an employee or consumer record, a missing or expiring document can go out for signature from its own row. Pick the template and the person on the record is filled in for you. Turn on “use next time” and that form is picked for that document on every record. Building your list of forms? Our index of APD forms and required documents shows what each file needs.
  • The record's employee or consumer is matched to the right signer
  • A warning if that document is already out for signature
  • Office admins send; staff can't

For the person signing

Easy for a caregiver or a family member

Signers open the link from their email on a phone, tablet or computer. There's nothing to download and no password to make. The page walks them to each required field, they draw their signature or type their name, agree to sign electronically and finish.
  • No Waiversoft account needed to sign
  • Draw a signature with a finger, or type it
  • Requested files upload from the same page

After the last signature

The signed PDF files itself

When the last person signs, Waiversoft builds the signed PDF and adds a signature certificate page: each signer's name, email, time signed and IP address, their consent to sign electronically, and a fingerprint of the original document. A request sent from a record files that PDF into the document's slot, dated today, and closes any open request for it.

FAQ

Questions about e-sign

Do signers need a Waiversoft account?

No. Each signer gets their own secure link by email and signs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer.

Can a guardian sign for a consumer?

Yes. Add a Guardian signer to the template and enter the guardian's name and email when you send. The signed copy still files on the consumer's record.

What proof is kept of who signed?

Every signed PDF ends with a certificate page listing each signer's name, email, time signed, IP address and consent to sign electronically, plus a fingerprint of the original document.

Can I set up templates on the iPhone?

Placing fields is done on the web. From the iPhone app you can send from your templates or from a record and see who has signed.

What does it cost?

E-Sign is part of the one Waiversoft plan, $20 per consumer per month. There's no charge per envelope or per signer.
