How Does the DrySign Aadhaar eSign Gateway Work?

DrySign is an easy-to-use digital signature solution that uses your Aadhaar or PAN to authenticate your documents for you. In a document where multiple signatures are required, DrySign will easily fetch and authenticate the identities of all the signatories from government-authorized online services.

Currently, DrySign has an official partnership with eMudhra, a licensed Certifying Authority in India under the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), Government of India. This means that whenever you sign a document using DrySign, a unique hash value is embedded permanently in the document by eMudhra, making that document legal and authentic – even more authentic than a simple paper-based signature! We chose eMudhra because their services are trusted by some of the biggest brands in India like Infosys, IBM, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IDBI Bank, and many more.

This blog will take you step-by-step through the process of signing using DrySign. At the end of the read, you will know precisely how the DrySign Aadhaar eSign Gateway works.
