Re-use a Document ID for a Seal

Learn how to perform sealed actions without the need to re-upload a Document.

Reuse document for multiple actions

You can re-seal previously signed or sealed documents using the POST /electronic_seal_documents endpoint without re-uploading any document.

Benefits of sealing an already sealed or signed document

  • Seal documents on behalf of different legal entities
  • Reinforce the integrity of already signed documents
  • Avoid duplicate document uploads

How It Works

Each re-seal operation creates a new sealed document and electronic_seal_document_id, keeping the original document unchanged.

Parameters:

  • electronic_seal_document_id to re-seal an existing sealed document
  • signature_request_document_id to seal a previously signed document (Signature Request must have done status)

Adding sealed Documents to Signature Requests

You can also add previously sealed documents to Signature Requests using POST /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/documents.

To do that, provide the electronic_seal_document_id parameter instead of uploading a new file.
