What is an electronic signature?

An electronic signature is a digital signature used to indicate the signatory's agreement to the contents of an electronic document. It is a legal way to sign documents without the need for physical signatures, paper documents, or in-person meetings. An electronic signature can take many forms, such as a scanned image of a handwritten signature, a signature created using a stylus or finger on a touchscreen device, or even a digital representation of a person's signature created using specialized software. Electronic signatures (e-Signatures) are widely used in business and legal contexts, including contracts, agreements, and other important documents. e-Signatures are generally considered to be legally binding and enforceable, as long as they meet certain requirements for authentication, security, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The US Federal ESIGN Act defines eSignatures as "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record."

Why use e-signatures to sign documents?

Electronic signatures offer a range of benefits for document management. e-Signatures provide a fast, convenient, and secure way to sign documents from anywhere, at any time using any device. With eSignatures, individuals and professionals can simplify and streamline document management processes, resulting in increased efficiency and productivity. Electronic signatures also offer enhanced security features to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of fraud or unauthorized access. E-signatures can save businesses money by reducing the costs associated with printing, storing, and managing paper documents, while also improving customer experience by providing a fast, easy, and convenient way to sign documents.

Yes, electronic signatures are legal and widely recognized as valid under various international laws and regulations. Sign.Plus complies with U.S. ESIGN and UETA Acts, as well as the European Union’s eIDAS Regulation, ensuring that electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as traditional handwritten ones in many countries and industries.
