Questions
Do landlords accept signed PDFs?
Many do, but some only take applications through their own portal. Check how they want it sent.
Should I send my Social Security number by email?
Be careful. Ask how the manager wants it delivered, and avoid sending it over unsecured channels.
Does SignSnap keep my application?
No. Nothing is uploaded, and the file stays on your phone.
Electronic signatures are accepted for many everyday documents, but some documents, such as wills or certain court and property filings, have their own rules. If you are unsure, ask whoever sent the document.
