Stamp, sign and certify documents — without the printer.
TekenIt replaces the print → rubber-stamp → wet-sign → rescan loop. Upload PDFs or photos, place your stamps, signatures, initials and annotations, then download, email or send the stamped document for signing — processed on your device, never uploaded for self-stamping.
Built for commissioners of oaths, notaries, attorneys, accountants, JPs and HR teams. Teken is the Afrikaans word for sign — so, teken it.
Three steps. No printer, no scanner.
Everything happens in your browser. For self-stamping, the document is processed on your device — it is never uploaded.
Upload PDFs or photos
Drop in PDFs — or photos, which convert to PDF pages automatically. Open several documents in tabs, merge them, and reorder, rotate or remove pages. It all stays on your device when you stamp your own documents.
Place stamps, signatures and marks
Choose from your stamp library, add your saved signature or initials, and annotate — highlight, tick, cross, draw or type. Automatic open-space placement suggests positions that don't cover the content; drag and resize anything.
Download, email or send to sign
Get the finished PDF instantly, email it via the system share sheet, or send it to another TekenIt account for signing — optionally carrying a verification reference and QR code anyone can check.
Your stamp drawer, digitised.
Everything a certifying professional needs — from photo to stamped, signed, verifiable PDF — placed precisely and recorded automatically.
PDFs and photos alike
Upload PDFs, or JPG and PNG photos that convert to PDF pages automatically. Drag and drop to merge into an open document or open in new tabs.
ID card helper
Photograph the front and back of an ID card and TekenIt lays both out on one A4 page, ready to certify.
Tabs & merging
Work on several documents at once in tabs, merge open documents into one, zoom in close, and rename before you save.
Full page control
Reorder pages by dragging thumbnails in a macOS-Preview-style rail, remove or rotate pages, and add a blank page when you need one.
A library of ten stamps
Editable templates for the stamps professionals actually use — commissioner of oaths, certified true copy, witness, received, paid, approved, round seal, notary and more. Favourite the ones you reach for, and place several on one document.
Visual stamp editor
Shape, ink colours and line-by-line text — adjust wording, capacity, registration numbers and dates so every stamp says exactly what it should.
Signatures & initials
Save up to three signatures and two initials per account — drawn on screen (Apple Pencil supported) or photographed with automatic background cleanup — in black or blue ink.
Annotate anything
Freehand drawing in three colours and three pen sizes, highlighting, tick and cross marks, and typed text — for corrections, initialled changes and quick notes.
Automatic placement
Open-space detection finds clear areas on each page and suggests where elements fit without covering the content — then drag, resize or remove each one individually.
Register & QR verification
Every stamped document can carry a reference and QR code. Anyone can re-upload the document on the public verify page — a SHA-256 fingerprint match confirms it is unaltered. Export your register as CSV any time.
Send to sign
Send a prepared document to any TekenIt account by email for signing — receiving and signing is free. Or email the stamped PDF directly via the system share sheet.
Built for firms
Staff prepare documents with a colleague's stamp layouts and assign them — the signer reviews and completes with one press.
Installable app & reader
Install TekenIt on your computer or phone and open PDFs straight from your files — Open With → TekenIt. The sidebar tucks away, leaving a clean, fast PDF reader.
And private by design: for self-stamping, documents are processed in your browser and never uploaded — only certification metadata and the fingerprint are stored when you enable verification.
A paper stamp can't prove itself. A TekenIt stamp can.
When you stamp a document with TekenIt, it can carry a verification reference and QR code. Anyone who receives that document — a bank, an employer, an embassy — can check it themselves:
- They visit the public verification page and re-upload the document they received.
- TekenIt computes the document's fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) and compares it with the one recorded when it was stamped. If even one character changed, the fingerprint won't match.
- They see the certifier's name and the date of certification — confirming who stamped it, when, and that the document has not been altered since.
Every verification-enabled stamp is also an entry in your automatic certification register — a running record of your attestations that you can export at any time. TekenIt records the metadata and the fingerprint, never the document's contents.

What you should know before relying on TekenIt
We would rather tell you the limits up front than let you find them out later.
Will everyone accept a digitally applied stamp?
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Acceptance of digitally applied stamps and signatures depends on the receiving institution and on the law of the relevant jurisdiction. Some institutions accept them readily; others still require wet-ink originals for certain document types. If in doubt, check with the receiving party before certifying digitally.
Does TekenIt change my professional responsibility?
No. TekenIt is a tool for applying your stamps and recording your certifications. You remain fully responsible for every attestation you make — for sighting originals where required, for the truth of what your stamp asserts, and for complying with the rules of your profession and jurisdiction.
What does TekenIt store about my documents?
For self-stamping, your PDF is processed in the browser on your own device and is not uploaded. When you enable verification for a stamped document, TekenIt stores certification metadata — your name, the date, the verification reference — and the document's SHA-256 fingerprint. TekenIt does not store the document's contents.
What does the verification check actually prove?
It confirms that a document with exactly this fingerprint was stamped by the named certifier on the recorded date, and that the copy being checked is byte-for-byte unaltered since stamping. It does not, by itself, prove the underlying facts the certification asserts — that remains the certifier's professional judgement.
Can I get my certification history out?
Yes. Your certification register belongs to you. On Pro and Firm plans you can export it as CSV at any time.
