Sound familiar?

A bond waiting on one signature.

The bond is ready. The paperwork is not. Most delays on a straightforward bond come down to getting the right people to sign the right documents, and getting the signed copy back where it belongs.

The indemnitor cannot get to the office today.
Printing, scanning and emailing PDFs back and forth.
Paying a separate signing tool for every envelope you send.
Signed paperwork that never makes it back onto the case file.

Signing should not be the slowest part of writing a bond.

What you get

Send it, they sign it, it's on the file.

Any document

Surety forms, your own custom forms, saved form packets, or a one-off document you need signed today.

Sign from any device

The signer gets a link by text or email and signs in their browser. Or they sign in your office on a tablet or by QR code.

On the record, automatically

The signed, timestamped PDF lands on the case file. Status shows sent, opened and signed, so you stop calling to ask.

Common questions

What agents ask about eSign.

Is Captira eSign really free?

Yes. eSign is included in Captira with no per-document fee and no limit on how many documents you send. You pay the platform price only: $1 for the first month, then $99/mo flat.

Is there a limit on how many documents I can send for signature?

No. Captira eSign has no document limit and no per-document charge, so sending your hundredth agreement costs the same as your first. By comparison, eBail includes 10 eSign contracts a month and then charges $0.60 to $0.75 per document, depending on plan.

Can indemnitors and defendants sign on their phone?

Yes. They get a link by text or email and sign in their phone's browser, with nothing to install. They can also sign in your office on a tablet or by scanning a QR code.

What documents can I send for e-signature?

Surety forms, your own custom forms, saved form packets, or any one-off document. Indemnitor agreements, applications and premium payment agreements all go through the same signing step.

Where do signed documents go?

The signed, timestamped PDF is saved to the case file automatically. The status shows when each document was sent, opened, partially completed and signed, so you can see where a bond stands without calling anyone.

Do I still need DocuSign or another e-signature tool?

No. eSign is built into Captira, so there is no separate signing subscription and no per-envelope fee. No DocuSign or PandaDoc account is needed.

Are electronic signatures valid for bail bonds?

In general, yes. The federal ESIGN Act (2000) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, adopted in most states, give electronic signatures the same legal standing as ink signatures. Some sureties and states have their own rules for bail paperwork, so confirm with your surety before switching.

How do I turn on eSign if I already use Captira?

Log in to Captira, go to Services > All Services, and click Get Started on the eSign section. It is included in your subscription, so there is nothing extra to pay.

Stop paying to get bonds signed.

eSign is one part of Captira's bail bond software, alongside Easy Bail remote bonding, defendant check-ins and court reminders. See pricing. $1 first month, $99/mo after. Cancel anytime.
