Signing with DocuSign

Every screen of DocuSign, step by step: your funding agreement, the LETPA certification, and what your sheriff sees in DocuSign's email.

8 of 27 steps on your routeYour route: I'm the sheriff

DocuSign is the online way to sign your funding agreement and, for SHSP and UASI, your LETPA certification. You don't need a DocuSign account and there's nothing to install: it works in an up-to-date browser on a computer, tablet or phone.

Signers with a GMPro login start from GMPro's signing page. Anyone without one, such as your sheriff on the LETPA certification, signs from DocuSign's email. Either way, GMPro files the signed copy and DocuSign's completion certificate for you.

Who signs where

SignerStarts fromNeeds a GMPro login
Your Authorized Representative (agreement and LETPA)GMPro's signing page, or DocuSign's email
Your Point of Contact (LETPA, when they're the one chosen)GMPro's signing page, or DocuSign's email
Your sheriff (LETPA only)DocuSign's email

Only your Authorized Representative signs your funding agreement; your LETPA certification may be signed by your Authorized Representative or a Point of Contact. If that person has changed, an owner updates it before you send anything for signature.

Words you'll see

Signing page
GMPro's page for one signing: who signs, in what order, where it stands, and the documents being signed. It updates on its own as people sign.
Envelope
DocuSign's word for a package being signed. Your funding agreement is one envelope; your LETPA certification is another.
Adopt a signature
The first time you sign, DocuSign asks how your signature should look. Check your name and initials and pick a style, or draw or upload your own.

Part 3

For your sheriff: signing from DocuSign's email

  1. 1

    Open DocuSign's email

    DocuSign emails the sheriff when it's their turn. It comes from DocuSign, not GMPro, and the subject names the document and program, such as “LETPA certification — SHSP”. Click “Review Document”.

    Not in the inbox? Check junk or spam. Your team can send it again with “Resend email” on the signing page.

  2. 2

    Read the document

    DocuSign opens the certification with your organization's signature already on it. If DocuSign asks, agree to use electronic records first. Then click “Start”.

  3. 3

    Click “Sign”

    “Start” goes to the “Sheriff Certification” line. Click the “Sign” tag.

  4. 4

    Adopt a signature

    Check your full name and initials, choose a style, and click “Adopt and Sign”.

    If you already have a DocuSign account, DocuSign may offer a signature you saved before. Use it, or choose “Adopt new”.

  5. 5

    Check the signature

    Your signature is on the sheriff's line, beside your organization's signer's.

  6. 6

    Finish signing

    DocuSign says “Ready to Finish?”. Click “Finish”.

  7. 7

    No account needed

    DocuSign may offer to download a copy, log in or create an account. None of that is needed: download a copy if you'd like one, or close the window.

  8. 8

    You're done

    DocuSign confirms the document is signed. The rest of that page is DocuSign advertising its paid plans; ignore it. Once everyone has signed, DocuSign emails each signer a completed copy.
