How to do it

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF

    If it has an empty signature field, the inspector finds it.

  2. 2

    Choose your signature

    Draw it, type it, or use a photo of it. If you have a .p12 certificate, add a digital signature as well.

  3. 3

    Place it and download

    Put it where it goes and download the signed PDF.

What's different in aval

Digital signature included

With your certificate, the PDF carries a signature that shows if anything changed after signing.

Check signatures

Verify signatures says who signed, when, and whether the document changed since.

It checks every document

When you upload it, aval looks for blank pages, upside-down scans, pages without text and empty signature fields, and offers the fix.

Your file stays with aval

It's processed on our servers and stored encrypted with your account's key. It isn't sent to other services, shown ads, or used to train AI.

Questions

Is it legally valid?

A visible signature (drawn, typed or from an image) and a digital signature with a certificate are different things. Which one a procedure accepts depends on the procedure and the country.

Is my certificate stored?

No. It's used to sign, and neither it nor its password is saved in your account.
