How to send an NDA for signature online (in under two minutes)

The Signet team··4 min read

You need an NDA in place before a conversation, a pitch, or sharing a deck. The faster it's signed, the sooner you can talk freely, so the whole point is to remove friction. Here's the quickest reliable way to do it.

1. Start from a template, not a blank page

Keep a reusable NDA template with merge fields for the party names and the date. Reusing it means each send takes a minute and every version is consistent.

2. Send a link, not an account invite

The single biggest cause of unsigned NDAs is asking the other person to sign up for a tool they'll never use again. Send a secure link they can open and sign on any device, no account, no app.

3. Let them sign in one tap

Most NDAs are opened on a phone. Typing or drawing a signature should just work, with consent captured as part of signing.

4. Keep a record you can prove

Sign, and both sides should get the executed PDF plus a sealed record of who signed and when, so if the confidentiality is ever tested, you can show it stands. Don't rely on "I emailed it and they replied."

Do NDAs need to be witnessed or notarised?

For standard business NDAs, generally no, a valid electronic signature is enough to make them binding under eIDAS and ESIGN. (High-value or specialised agreements can differ, so check your jurisdiction.)
