In effect from 17 September 2026
This is what you agree to when you sign a document your firm has sent you. It is shown to you each time before you sign, and you can print or save this page to keep it.
By ticking the box beside your signature, you agree to sign electronically and to receive the records of your signing electronically. The name you type is your signature, and it has the same effect as signing by hand.
Your agreement covers the one document you are signing. You will be asked again the next time you are asked to sign anything.
You do not have to sign electronically. To sign this document on paper instead, or to get a paper copy of anything you have signed, contact your firm using the contact details in the message they sent you. A paper copy is free.
You can withdraw your agreement at any time before you sign, by not signing and telling your firm using the contact details in the message they sent you. There is no charge for withdrawing. It does not undo anything you have already signed, but you may then be asked to sign on paper, which can take longer.
Withdrawing your agreement to sign electronically is not the same as declining to sign the document itself. If you do not want to agree to what the document says, tell your firm rather than signing it.
After you sign, you are sent a link to your own copy of the record of your signing: what you signed, and when and how you signed it. It opens once you enter a new code, and you can save or print it. You are also sent a link to the document itself, exactly as it was when you signed it, which stays available whatever your firm hands out later.
Your code, and the confirmation that you signed, go to the email address or mobile number your firm has for you. To change it, contact your firm using the contact details in the message they sent you.
To sign and keep your records electronically, you need:
If this list changes in a way that could stop you opening or keeping your records, you will be told before it happens, and you can withdraw your agreement without charge.
Reading this on the device you are signing on, and receiving a code at the address your records go to, shows that you can open the records you are agreeing to receive.
