Is this DocuSign email real? Check the sender

DocuSign envelopes are delivered from docusign.net, on behalf of the person who sent the document. Check both: the DocuSign sender and the person named inside.

  • Is it really docusign.net?
  • Free sender check
  • The sender is never notified

How to check a DocuSign email

Fake signing requests are built to steal a work email password. The real one never asks for it.

  1. Copy the real address

    Tap the sender name to reveal the full address and paste that, not the name shown.

  2. Check the domain

    See whether it is docusign.net, when the domain was registered, and which provider runs the mailbox. Free.

  3. Ask the sender

    Contact the person named in the request by a channel you already use, and confirm they sent it.

What gives away a fake DocuSign email

Fake “document ready for signature” emails that lead to a login page, and real DocuSign envelopes sent from free accounts by scammers.

DocuSign scam email questions

What address do real DocuSign emails come from?

Envelope notifications are delivered from docusign.net, and the email names the person or company that sent the document. A notice from any other domain is not from DocuSign.

The email really came from DocuSign. Can it still be a scam?

Yes. Anyone can open a DocuSign account and send an envelope. Check the person named as the sender — that is the address worth pasting here — and confirm with them by a channel you already know.

Does opening a DocuSign document need my email password?

No. Viewing a document does not require your Microsoft or Google password. A page that asks for it after a “DocuSign” link is stealing it.

Where do I report a fake DocuSign email?

Mark it as phishing in your mail app; at work, report it to your IT or security team.

Does the sender find out I checked?

No. Nothing is sent to the address and nobody is notified. The check reads DNS records, the domain registration and public sources only.
