A method for enhancing efficiency of a computerized electronic signature system by facilitating collection of signatures from multiple signatories is described. The method may initially involve verifying an identity of a first signatory by receiving data from the first signatory electronically, providing a document to the first signatory, receiving a first electronic signature on the document from the first signatory, and receiving a selection from the first signatory of a second signatory to sign the document as a witness. The method may then involve verifying an identity of the second signatory by receiving data from the second signatory electronically, providing the document to the second signatory, receiving a second electronic signature from the second signatory, providing a completed document, including the first signature and the second signature, and notifying the first signatory and the second signatory that the completed document is completed.
