How to Tell if a DocuSign Email is Legitimate

‍

To determine if a DocuSign email is legitimate, follow these guidelines:

1. Open the email to check the sender's email address and the URL used.
2. Ensure the email is from a DocuSign domain, typically ending in '@docusign.com.' Be cautious of slight variations or misspellings.
3. Verify the email content. Genuine emails will usually address you by name and use professional language. Look for specific details about the document, such as the sender's name, email, and document title.
4. Genuine DocuSign emails include a link to view or sign the document. This link should direct you to a secure DocuSign site.
5. Legitimate DocuSign emails often include a security footer with a unique security code. You can go to DocuSign.com and click 'Access documents then enter the security code.
6. Click 'Go'.
7. By accessing the document through security code, you can tell that the email is legit.
8. DocuSign emails typically do not include attachments but rather a link to the document. Be suspicious of attachments in such emails.
9. If still in doubt, visit the DocuSign Trust Center for more information on identifying fraudulent emails.
