You may have some questions...

Why do I have to scan QR code twice? What’s the difference?

The first QR code you scan (in Step 3) is to verify your identity with Singpass and log in to the Sign portal. This protects your data privacy by ensuring that the document and any sensitive contents can only be seen by the intended parties.

The second QR code you scan (in Step 10; which comes with a 4-digit reference code) is for you to perform the signing of document.

What is the reference code for during the signing?

The purpose of the reference code is to allow users to verify that they are signing the correct document, when the code on their Singpass App matches that which is shown in the Sign Portal.

What happens if I reject the signing on my Singpass App?

If you reject the signing (Click 'Reject' in Step 8), the Sign Portal will continue to stay in 'pending sign' mode. You have to (i) refresh the Portal to get a new QR code or (ii) return back to the organization's webpage to restart the process.

How do I retrieve the signed document?

You may retrieve the signed document from the organisation's (document sender) platform.

Why can’t I log in?

You might not be able to log in if i) you are not the intended signer for this document, or ii) someone else has logged into the portal to access the document before you.

If you believe this is an error, please contact the organization/document sender to request for a new signing session.

Why can’t I sign?

You might not be able to sign if the document has already been signed, or if you are not the intended signer for this document.

If you believe this is an error, please contact the organization/document sender for assistance.
