Type-to-sign a contract (no PDF)

4 min read

Not every agreement needs a formatted PDF. For an NDA, a short services agreement or a letter, you can write the contract text directly in MauriSign.

The signer adopts a typed name instead of drawing ink, and MauriSign seals the same cryptographically-verifiable record.

  1. 1

    Write or paste your agreement

    Open Agreements and create a new contract, or start from the paste flow. Use the rich-text editor to write your terms, or paste text you already have.

    You can insert merge tokens (like the signer's name) that get filled in automatically.

    The rich-text contract editor — write terms directly, no PDF needed.

    Add the signer and send

    Enter the signer's name and email and send. Just like the PDF flow, they receive a secure link gated by a one-time emailed code.

    You'll see the agreement move to "Awaiting signature" in your list.

    The signer adopts a typed name

    The recipient reviews the text and types their full name to adopt it as their signature. On completion MauriSign seals the document and both parties get a copy.

    Tip. Typed-name signing is fully valid under the Electronic Transactions Act 2000 — the legal weight comes from the sealed audit trail, not from ink.
