Last updated 7 days ago

Sign is a digital signing solution built on the Singpass ecosystem allows users to sign documents such as contracts and other agreements remotely, via their Singpass App.

Signatures made using Sign with Singpass are regarded as Secure Electronic Signatures (SES) under the Electronic Transactions Act 2010 (ETA).

Benefits of using Sign

Convenience of Remote Digital Signing

Parties can sign documents instantly and securely using their Singpass App, ensuring faster, more seamless transactions that are not limited to the constraints of space and time.

More Secure than Physical Signatures

Sign with Singpass signatures make use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which is a secure system of public and private keys. The signatures are assured of their authenticity as they cannot be forged due to the security of the cryptographic algorithms used. The signer's identity is verified via Singpass, Singapore's national digital identity system, which has a robust security infrastructure.

Legal Assurance of Secure Electronic Signatures (SES)

Digital signatures created through Sign are regarded as Secure Electronic Signatures (SES) under the Electronic Transactions Act (2010) (ETA). This means that they are given certain presumptions in the course of any legal proceedings.

Extract from Section 19 of the Electronic Transactions Act (2010) (2) In any proceedings involving a secure electronic signature, it is presumed, unless evidence to the contrary is adduced, that —

(a) the secure electronic signature is the signature of the person to whom it correlates; and (b) the secure electronic signature was affixed by that person with the intention of signing or approving the electronic record. Source:

Users and relying parties should note the exclusions under the

Cost-effective & Environmentally-friendly

Using Sign allows organisations to do away with wet-ink (physical) signatures, saving cost and time both for the organisation and the signatory. For example, organisations can significantly reduce the need for printing, scanning, and storing and shipping of physical documents.

Sign is currently offered free of charge, both for organisations to integrate with, and for users.
