Using Wathq Verification in Signature Requests

What is Wathq Verification?

Wathq Verification is an optional feature available during signature request creation. When enabled, it allows participants to be verified using their National ID and a company’s CR (Commercial Registration) number. This ensures that the individual is officially registered with the organization as an owner, partner, or other stakeholder.

Enabling Wathq Verification for Your Organization

To allow users in your organization to use Wathq verification:

1. Go to Organization Settings:

   • From the Signit dashboard, click on the gear icon or settings.

2. Navigate to Organization Integrations:

   • Select Organization Integrations in the settings menu.

3. Enable Wathq Integration:

   • Locate Wathq in the list of integrations.

   • Toggle “Enable Wathq Verification” to ON.

   • Description: “Verify participants using National ID and CR numbers for enhanced security in signature requests.”

Note: Disabling the Wathq toggle will remove the verification step from all new signature requests.

How to Use Wathq Verification During a Signature Request

Step 1: Add Participants (Step 2 in Signature Request)

2. When you reach Step 2: Add Participants, select a participant.

3. Choose a verification method that includes National ID:

Invalid or Missing CR Number?

  Error: “Invalid CR number. Please enter a valid Commercial Registration number for the company.”

• If missing:
  Error: “Please enter the CR number to proceed with Wathq verification.”

Step 3: Wathq Verification Summary
