How to sign a permission slip on iPhone

Sign a PDF permission slip received by email or message and return a clear copy without printing it.

Quick answer

Open or save the PDF permission slip, check that its details are complete, place your saved handwritten signature, and share the exported PDF back to the sender.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Open the actual attachment

    Use the PDF attached to Mail, Messages, or a school app. Avoid signing a screenshot when the original PDF is available.

  2. 02

    Check the details first

    Confirm the student, event, dates, and selections. If text fields still need work, complete them in the sender’s form or another compatible tool before signing.

  3. 03

    Place your signature

    Tap Sign, choose your saved handwriting, and size it to the parent or guardian signature line.

  4. 04

    Return the PDF

    Export the flattened signed copy, open it once, and send it through the same channel or destination requested by the school.

  • Keep a copy of what you sent.

Questions

Can I sign a permission slip that arrived as an image?

The app can accept an image through the share workflow, but a PDF is usually easier to return as a document.

Can I add missing text answers in PDF Sign & Scan?

No. Complete text or checkbox fields elsewhere, then use the app for the signature placement.
