Uploading documents
US Legal Forms isn’t just for finding ready-to-use templates - it also allows you to upload your own legal documents for editing, signing, notarizing, or sending. With the document uploader feature, users can conveniently manage their own documents directly from their account.
Why Use the Document Uploader?
The uploader gives you the ability to add documents that don’t exist in the US Legal Forms library. You can upload files from different sources, including:
- Your device
- Google Drive
- Dropbox
- OneDrive
- Box
This flexibility makes it easy to work with your own legal or personal paperwork alongside US Legal Forms templates in one place.
