# Sign Inspection Agreements on Your Phone in the Hive Inspect App

> See an inspection's agreements in the Hive Inspect mobile app and have the client sign on your phone or tablet at the property: name, initials and a drawn signature.

In the mobile app: open an inspection → the **Agreements** tile.

When a client hasn't signed the inspection agreement before you arrive, they can sign it on your phone or tablet at the property. The **Agreements** tile on the [Inspection Summary](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/how-tos/mobile-inspection-summary.md) shows how many are signed: **All Signed**, **1/2 Signed**, **Pending Signature** or **No Agreements**.

## The Agreements list

![The Agreements screen, Access your inspection agreements, with two cards: Home Inspection Agreement with a yellow Pending badge and a Sign button, and Radon Testing Agreement with a green Signed badge, Signed 10/20/2026 and a View button](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/OI8u85scyIh0POXm/images/how-tos/mobile-agreements-list.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=OI8u85scyIh0POXm\&q=85\&s=35dc255aae952e54ad2b1b1dd6be6f1b)

Each agreement shows its name and status:

* **Pending** with a **Sign** button: not signed yet. Tap **Sign** to sign it on this phone.
* **Signed** with the date and a **View** button: tap **View** to open the signed PDF in your browser.

Pull down to refresh, for example after the client signs from their email. When the inspection has no agreements, the screen says "No agreements available". You add agreements on the dashboard, usually through the services they're attached to. See [Set up inspection agreements](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/business-tools/agreements.md).

## Have the client sign

### 1. Tap Sign next to the agreement

The **Sign Agreement** screen shows the agreement with your company's details and the client's name, address and prices already filled in.

![The Sign Agreement screen: Home Inspection Agreement, Please read and sign before the inspection, then the agreement text: This agreement is between Grace Turner (Client) and Hive Inspections (Inspector) for the inspection of 67 Spruce Avenue, Riverton, IL 62561, numbered sections for Scope, Fee, Report and Limitation of liability, and an empty Client initials box](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/OI8u85scyIh0POXm/images/how-tos/mobile-agreements-sign.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=OI8u85scyIh0POXm\&q=85\&s=20c2332e676eb07f7f0de5452df8987a)

### 2. Hand the phone to the client to read it

They scroll to the bottom.

### 3. The client fills in Your Name and Your Initials

**Your Initials** only shows when the agreement has places to initial. As they type, their initials appear in each of those places in the agreement.

### 4. The client signs

Tap **Tap to sign**, draw the signature with a finger, and tap **Save Signature**. **Clear** starts the drawing again.

![The Draw your signature window with a drawn signature, the hint Draw your signature above, and Clear and Save Signature buttons](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/OI8u85scyIh0POXm/images/how-tos/mobile-agreements-signature-pad.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=OI8u85scyIh0POXm\&q=85\&s=9a96255c91ae663f62727edc9dbdfe71)

### 5. Tap Sign Agreement

The button turns blue once the name, signature and any initials are filled in. Hive saves the signed agreement as a PDF, marks it **Signed** and opens the PDF.

![The bottom of Sign Agreement filled in: the initials GT shown in the Client initials box in the agreement, Your Name Grace Turner, Your Initials GT, the drawn signature with a red Clear & Re-sign link, and a blue Sign Agreement button](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/OI8u85scyIh0POXm/images/how-tos/mobile-agreements-filled.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=OI8u85scyIh0POXm\&q=85\&s=d9fc859396e72910f08af74e16d05be7)

Signing in the app works like signing from the client's email: the agreement is marked signed on the dashboard and in the client portal, and your "agreement signed" automations run. Tap **Clear & Re-sign** to redo the signature before signing.

Signing needs an internet connection. If the PDF can't open on the phone afterwards, the agreement is still signed: "Your agreement was signed, but the PDF could not be opened on this device. You can view it later from the Agreements list."

## Common questions

> **Why is Sign Agreement greyed out?**
>
> Something is missing: the name, the signature, or the initials when the agreement asks for them.

> **The client already signed by email. Why does the app say Pending?**
>
> Pull down on the Agreements screen to refresh it.

> **Can I add or change an agreement in the app?**
>
> No. Agreements are set up and attached on the dashboard. See [Set up inspection agreements](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/business-tools/agreements.md).
