How does the accountless signing process look like for non-users of the Dokobit portal
Non-users of the Dokobit portal will be sent our standard email invitation with a link to the document. After pressing "Review and sign", they will be taken to a page with direct access to the document.
If the document is shared by only indicating the participant's email address, the non-user will gain instant access to the contents of the document.
However, if the document is shared by also indicating the participant's personal code, the participant will first need to authenticate or, in other words, confirm their identity to view the contents of the document before signing.
