Certificate & Audit History in WESIGN DOC

What Is the Certificate of Completion?

Once a document is fully signed, WESIGN DOC generates a Certificate of Completion.

This certificate is a summary record connected to the completed envelope. It helps confirm important details about the signing transaction without requiring the public display of sensitive or private information.

In general, the certificate can include information such as:

• Envelope status
• Envelope ID
• Subject line
• Document and certificate page details
• Time zone information
• Sender or originator details
• Record tracking information
• Signer activity summary
• Event timestamps related to the signing process
• Envelope summary events showing completion and security status

The purpose of the certificate is to provide a structured record that supports the authenticity and integrity of the completed transaction.

What Is Audit History?

In WESIGN DOC, the Audit History is maintained as the Envelope History.

This history provides a step-by-step record of the actions that took place throughout the lifecycle of the envelope. It helps show what happened, when it happened, and in what order the signing process was completed.

The envelope history may record events such as:

• Document Uploaded
• Registered
• Sent Invitations
• Sent Access Code
• Hash Generated
• Viewed
• Opened
• Consent Given
• Signature Uploaded
• Document Submitted
• Signed
• Completed
• Sealed

By recording these activities, WESIGN DOC creates a verifiable timeline of the document journey from upload to final completion.

Why Certificate and Audit History Matter?

Electronic signature compliance is not only about placing a signature on a document. It also depends on maintaining proper records of the transaction.

The Certificate of Completion and Audit History help support this by:

• Showing the progress of the signing transaction
• Recording important signing events and timestamps
• Supporting authenticity and traceability
• Helping demonstrate that the document followed a secure signing process
• Providing a clear history of the completed envelope

These records are an important part of maintaining trust and supporting compliance in electronic signing workflows.

Supporting Compliance with eSignature Laws

To support legal enforceability, electronic signing platforms should maintain reliable records of the signing process. WESIGN DOC helps support this by keeping structured transaction records through both the certificate and the envelope history.

These records help demonstrate:

• The document was sent and processed through a controlled workflow
• The signer interacted with the document during the signing process
• Important actions were recorded with timestamps
• The completed envelope has a traceable history

This recordkeeping helps support compliance with eSignature laws and best practices, including requirements related to authenticity, record retention, and auditability.

In Summary

The Certificate of Completion and Audit History in WESIGN DOC play an important role in documenting the electronic signing process.

While the certificate summarizes the completed transaction, the audit history provides a detailed event log of the envelope lifecycle. Together, they help create a reliable and traceable record that supports secure digital signing and compliance-focused workflows.
