What tool can I use to complete and sign forms electronically?

Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Note: If you've previously used Adobe Sign under a different name or email address, your group admin must contact Adobe Sign Support for assistance. If you don't know who your group admin is, submit a Help request.

Adobe Sign offers a way to securely obtain electronic signatures as an alternative to paper-based forms. With it, you can create a custom form, send it to others for signature and track and manage the signature process.

Only users who create documents in Adobe Sign need to log in to Adobe. Users who only need to sign documents do not need an Adobe Sign account.

You can request an Adobe Sign account if you: 

  • Have an active SUNetID
  • Are a current Stanford faculty or staff member. At this time, University IT (UIT) is unable to create accounts for students.
  • Don't already have an Adobe Sign account. If you've previously used Adobe Sign under a different name or email address, your group admin must contact Adobe Sign Support for assistance.

Get Started

  1. To request an Adobe Sign account contact your group admin. If you don’t know who your group admin is, submit a Help request. (If you need to use Adobe Sign for PHI Data, please mention so in the ticket. UIT needs to configure the system for secure management of PHI Data documents.)
  2. If the group admin is unable to add your account to the group, they must contact Adobe Sign Support for assistance.

Note: Document reviewers, approvers, and signers do not need to submit a Help ticket for access to perform their assigned role in relation to a document.
