Sign School & Education PDFs Online

Schools, colleges, and universities produce a wide variety of documents that require signatures throughout the academic year. SigPDF works with any standard PDF, making it suitable for all education-related paperwork:

• Permission slips for field trips and activities
• Report cards and progress reports
• Enrollment and registration forms
• Individualized Education Program (IEP) documents
• 504 Plan agreements
• Parent-teacher conference forms
• Acceptable use policies (technology)
• Medical release and emergency contact forms
• Financial aid and scholarship applications
• Recommendation letters and reference forms
• Student conduct agreements and honor codes
• Transportation authorization forms

For Teachers

Teachers sign documents constantly — from student evaluations and progress reports to IEP documents and administrative forms. Between lesson planning, grading, and classroom time, the last thing you need is a complicated signing tool that requires account creation, dashboard navigation, and software installation.

SigPDF lets you sign any PDF in seconds. Open the document your school sent you, add your signature and the date, and save the signed copy. It works on your school laptop, personal computer, tablet, or phone. No IT department approval needed, no software to install, and no account to create.

For teachers who review and sign IEP documents, recommendation letters, or student records, SigPDF's browser-based privacy is an added benefit. Student information stays on your device and is never uploaded to a third-party server, which aligns with FERPA data protection principles.

For School Administrators

Principals, vice principals, registrars, and office staff handle high volumes of documents that need signatures — enrollment forms, transfer requests, disciplinary records, staff evaluations, vendor contracts, and budget approvals. Enterprise e-signature platforms can cost $25-50+ per user per month, which adds up quickly when multiple staff members need access.

SigPDF costs €2.08/month on an annual plan with unlimited document signing. For school districts operating on tight budgets, this represents significant savings compared to enterprise alternatives. Administrators can sign documents from their office computer, at home, or on a mobile device during school events.

For Parents and Guardians

Parents know the drill — your child comes home with a permission slip that needs to be signed by tomorrow, or the school emails you a PDF form at 9 PM that is due in the morning. With SigPDF, you can sign the PDF on your phone immediately without searching for a printer or pen. Open the PDF attachment, add your signature, and email it back.

Common parent signing scenarios include:

• Field trip permission slips received by email
• Beginning-of-year paperwork packets (handbook acknowledgment, emergency contacts, media release)
• Report card acknowledgments
• IEP or 504 Plan consent forms
• Financial aid applications for private schools or colleges
• Activity and sports participation waivers

Privacy for Student Data (FERPA Considerations)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student education records in the United States. While FERPA primarily governs how schools and institutions handle student data, the spirit of the regulation emphasizes minimizing unnecessary exposure of student information.

When you sign education documents with SigPDF, the PDF — which may contain student names, grades, IEP details, disciplinary records, or other protected information — is processed entirely in your browser. No student data is transmitted to or stored on any external server. This aligns with data minimization principles and reduces the risk of student information being exposed during the signing process.

Works on School Devices

Many schools use Chromebooks, iPads, or locked-down Windows computers that prevent software installation. Because SigPDF is entirely browser-based, it works on any device with a web browser — including school-issued Chromebooks and tablets. No installation, no browser extension, and no IT approval required.

Affordable for Education Budgets

At €2.08/month on an annual plan with unlimited signing, SigPDF is priced for education budgets. Whether you are a teacher signing a few documents per week or an administrator processing dozens daily, the flat rate keeps costs predictable and low.

Can I sign permission slips electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures on permission slips are widely accepted by schools. Open the PDF in SigPDF, add your signature and the date, download the signed file, and email it back to your child's school.

Does SigPDF work on Chromebooks?

Yes. SigPDF is entirely browser-based and works on Chromebooks, iPads, Windows computers, Macs, and any other device with a modern web browser. No software installation is needed.

Is SigPDF FERPA compliant?

SigPDF is a PDF signing tool, not a student information system. Because documents are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server, student data in the documents is not transmitted to or stored by SigPDF. This aligns with FERPA data minimization principles, though schools should evaluate any tool within their own compliance framework.

Can multiple parents sign the same form?

SigPDF is designed for individual signing. One parent can sign the PDF, download it, and then send it to the other parent to add their signature in a separate session.
