Seamless digital document signing.

With Acis’ digital signing functionality, users can easily manage and request digital signatures for all company documents directly within the platform during the order process. 

Previously, our digital signing services were limited to pre registration company documents such as consents. However, we now offer end-to-end digital signing for both pre and post registration documents.  

Yes, Acis offers seamless integration with FuseSign, enabling users to digitally sign all company documents directly within the platform. This service incurs an additional cost of $2.20 per signature (inc. GST), facilitating a streamlined signing process for users without separate accounts. 

You have the option to use Acis’ built-in signing feature or integrate with one of our current partners, FuseSign or Docusign. For instructions on connecting your third-party signing provider (limited to FuseSign or Docusign), please refer to the digital signing integrations page.

Users start by logging into their Acis account and locating the relevant company order. After entering the required order details, they initiate the digital signing process. At this point, our handy digital wizard provides clear guidance and content to help users move forward seamlessly. 

Users can generate signatory requests for the designated clients by entering their email addresses. The clients receive an email notification with a link to the document that needs signing. Once the clients provide their digital signatures, the documents are finalised directly within the platform. 

You can easily track the signing progress by clicking into the designated section (pre or post registration) on the order status page. Here, you can see the status of each signatory, ensuring you stay updated on the signing process.

If you need to re-send a document for signature, navigate to the order status page within the platform. Here, you can see the status of each signatory and identify any pending signatures. To re-send, click on the “Re-send” button next to the name of the signatory you wish to prompt again.  

Digital signing of company registration documents is permitted under the Corporations Act 2001 and is now widely accepted in the industry. While legislation has also been passed allowing digital signing on other documents such as Trust Deeds, the acceptance of digitally signed deeds is not yet widespread. Therefore, we recommend using a wet signature for these documents. As the situation evolves, we will consider incorporating digital signing for a broader range of documents. 

Yes, you can conveniently access signed documents on the Acis platform by navigating to the “Completed Orders” section. From there, you can view and download documents at any time. Additionally, once the order is completed, you will receive an email with links to access the signed documents. 

If one of your signatories is unable to digitally sign, please cancel the digital signature process and switch to the traditional wet signature method.  

Acis will print and deliver your documents after all parties have completed the digital signing process. Usual business turnaround times and shipping times apply.  

Due to the need to ensure compliance with the Corporations Act 2001, you must choose either digital signing for all directors or none for pre registration signing.
