Note: Documenso support is beta; general release is coming soon!

Documenso

Documenso is a free, open-source DocuSign alternative. It supports eSigning, templates, and other similar featuress. You can configure Documenso to use Trusted Signatures to seal PDFs once they’ve been signed. All it takes is a valid Trusted Signatures API key.

Configure Documenso to use Trusted Signatures

Configure your instance to use Trusted Signatures by adding the following environment variables to your .env file:

Environment VariableDescription
NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TRANSPORTSet to trusted-signatures to use the Trusted Signatures service
NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TS_API_KEY_IDYour Trusted Signatures API Key ID
NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TS_API_KEYYour Trusted Signatures API Key (in hexadecimal format)

Test your integration

Send a test document through your Documenso instance to verify the integration is working correctly. If you used an API Key associated with a test certificate, the document will be signed but will the certificate will not be recognized.

If you used our AATL/eIDAS signing key, the signed document should display a green checkmark in Adobe Reader and other PDF viewers that recognize Adobe-trusted certificates.
