Enrollment forms signed
before the term starts.

Yes, as a general matter. The ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and UETA — adopted by 49 states, with New York using its own equivalent statute, ESRA — give an electronic signature the same legal effect as a handwritten one for private agreements between a parent or guardian and an institution, as long as the signer's identity and the document's integrity can be established. FERPA (student education records) and, for programs that serve children under 13 online, COPPA add privacy obligations that operate independently of signature validity — confirm both with your school's counsel before relying on any signed form.

Yes. The electronic signature works from anywhere. A parent working out of state or a guardian stationed abroad opens the email, reads the enrollment agreement, and signs from a phone or computer without traveling. Enrollment closes in hours instead of weeks.

Kligrafia is a general-purpose electronic signature and audit-trail platform, not an education-specific or “FERPA-certified” or “COPPA-certified” system — there is no official federal certification program for software that would make that claim meaningful. Whether your specific use of Kligrafia satisfies FERPA or COPPA depends on your institution's own policies, what student data you handle inside versus outside the platform, and any data-processing agreement your institution may need. That determination is your institution's responsibility, in consultation with your administration or counsel — it is not something we assert on your behalf.

With Level B KYC verification — a government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport) matched against a live photo. The Pro plan includes 2 free Level B verifications a month; Teams plans can add packages sized to your enrollment volume. KYC helps confirm the person signing is the legal representative on file, which matters for permission slips and consent forms.

Yes. For consent that requires agreement from both parents or an additional guardian, add every signer to the same document. Each one receives their own email, signs on their own time, and the document completes once everyone has signed. Useful for consents that require both parents' agreement.

The Teams plan supports bulk sending from a spreadsheet. Upload the roster with each family's contact details and Kligrafia sends the personalized enrollment agreement to every parent or guardian. Administration tracks who's signed and who's still pending from a centralized dashboard.

Teams starts at 3 seats at $8/seat/month ($24 minimum). A typical setup assigns one seat to the front office, one to academic coordination, and one to the business office. Larger schools add seats for department heads or student-services staff without changing plans.

Every completed document generates an evidence report PDF with a SHA-256 hash of the document before and after signing, timestamps for every action, IP address, user-agent, device, approximate location, and the identity-verification level reached. Anyone can verify the record’s integrity at kligrafia.com/verify, no account needed.
