MCLEAN, Va., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ID.me and Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU) today announced a partnership to make identity verification for commercial and legal agreements easier and more secure. By integrating ID.me's digital identity wallet directly into Docusign, businesses can now seamlessly verify signers for high-value transactions that require federal security standards (e.g., NIST Identity Assurance Level 2) without the friction of signers having to re-enter information.
In today's digital world, proving your identity online for sensitive transactions--such as opening a bank account, signing a lease, or completing a loan--can be slow and frustrating. ID.me's partnership with Docusign will remove those hurdles by enabling people to verify their identity once with ID.me and reuse those trusted credentials across all subsequent transactions. The result is a faster, secure, and more seamless experience for users, while helping businesses meet their compliance obligations and combat increasingly sophisticated AI-driven fraud, such as deepfakes.
ID.me is a next-generation digital identity wallet trusted by nearly 170 million users, including over 90 million verified to federal standards for consumer authentication. Docusign, the leader in secure Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM), serves over 1.8 million customers and one billion users worldwide. Together, the partnership brings trusted, reusable identity into agreement workflows--strengthening security while making it easier to complete high-stakes transactions at scale.
"AI-driven fraud has become one of the most sophisticated and prolific threats to digital trust," said Blake Hall, Founder and CEO of ID.me. "Our partnership with Docusign brings verified digital identity directly into the agreement process, helping organizations stay ahead of these evolving threats while giving users a secure, frictionless experience."
"ID.me's ability to combat AI fraud at scale aligns with Docusign's mission to deliver trusted and secure agreements," said Mangesh Bhandarkar, Group Vice President of Product Management at Docusign. "Tens of millions of Americans rely on ID.me for secure identity verification. Bringing that capability into Docusign means customers can now complete IAL2 verification with a simple sign-in, no extra steps, or added friction."
The integration allows users to securely verify their identity within specific agreement workflows while ensuring:
- A Seamless Experience: Users can use their existing ID.me account or create one for free in minutes.
- High-Level Security: Parties will verify to the federally recognized, Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) standard to mitigate risks of identity fraud and support compliance obligations.
- Reduced Friction Through Trusted, Reusable Identity: Users no longer need to juggle multiple passwords, answer security questions, or upload documents for every new transaction.
