Does this option work - How to Create an Electronic Signature in Microsoft Word Documents?

I sure hope so! I do this all the time when I write a letter of recommendation. In fact I go one further. I don’t scan a signature. I ‘signed’ one a few years ago using my mouse skills in CorelDraw! and put it in a file, which I’ve used for virtually every (PDF) letter I’ve sent since. I’ve also received many such letters as part of graduate admissions committees, and never given it a second thought. I think the only real concern is for authenticity, and since most such letters come through a service that only the letter writer herself can log in to, there usually is no such concern.

Yes, e-signatures are legally valid in India. In fact, e-signatures have been recognized by the Indian law, with the passage of the Information Technology Act in year 2000.As per the IT Act, two types of signatures have the same legal status as handwritten signatures. These primarily include:(i) Digital Signatures: In this case, the signer is issued a long-term (1 to 2 year) certificate based digital ID stored on a USB token that can be used along with a personal PIN to sign a document.Note: Previously, the signer was issued a long-term (1 to 2 year) certificate based digital ID stored on a USB token that could be used along with a personal PIN to sign a document digitally. Now with Aadhaar, that complicated procedure isn’t required anymore. You can simply use signNow’s Aadhaar eSign to create a digital signature on the fly using your Aadhaar ID(ii) Electronic signatures: These electronic signatures combine Aadhaar identity number with an electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) method (which includes sending an One-Time-Passcode to the mobile number linked to the Aadhaar card for verification)These Aadhaar based e-signatures and digital signatures are valid as long as they satisfy these conditions:(i) Electronic signatures must be uniquely linked to the person signing the document. (in the case of Aadhaar based signatures, they are linked by the unique Aadhaar ID)(ii) At the time if signing, the signatory must have control over the data used to generate the electronic signature (for eg: they should be able to directly affix the electronic signature to the document)(iii) There should be an audit trail of the steps taken during the signing the process(iv) In the case of digital signatures, signer certificates must be issued by signNowing Authority recognized by the Controller of signNowing Authorities appointed under the IT Act.Few of the exceptional cases in which documents cannot be signed electronically and must be executed using traditional handwritten signatures include:(i) Negotiable instruments such as a bill of exchange or a promissory note(ii) Powers of attorney(iii) Trust deeds(iv) Wills and any other testamentary disposition(v) Real-estate contracts such as leases or sales agreements.If you are looking to get legally compliant electronic signatures on contracts, invoices, quotes etc., try signNow, India’s first Aadhaar eSign solution that offers a complete fill-and-sign functionality with business workflows.

[full disclosure: I’m VP Digital Transformation at Solutions Notarius Inc., a company that supplies electronic and digital signature solutions]It completely depends on the requirements. I do not believe there is a uniquely better e-signature solution for all scenarios. For example, if the type of documents to be signed require low to medium reliability only, most modern e-signature platforms could be ok, subject to meeting legal requirements in the applicable jurisdiction, but if the document must meet stringent regulatory and statutory requirements that include high reliability of identity of signers, those platforms do not typically meet that threshold.Ideally, you would analyze, define and obtain agreement as to what constitutes the minimal acceptable legal reliability threshold you are willing to accept - or that readers of that document will accept. Next, define the technology requirements that correspond to that threshold. Finally, research e-signature options that meet these requirements and provide the best combination of price, features, scalability, etc..Finally, it should be noted that higher legal reliability e-signature platforms and solutions can always accommodate lower reliability documents while the converse is not true…

Sometimes we really don’t understand what we mean under “best”, even this question doesn’t elaborate what the best service means? Which criteria the author believes the service fits the best? price?best design? Reliability?Let’s better talk about “suitable” for this moment and current needs.As the previous answers mentioned, do you need the service to be available on all major platforms or a signature that will stand up in court?Do you need a free simple solution, a feature-rich service that charges on the amount of signatures/documents signed or on monthly basis?Do you need to work with your documents on the go with low or no internet connection (while travelling, in the airport or plane)?And you can ask yourself with tons of such questions to create a matrix of features-service to choose the one you need. Or you can use 3rd party platforms like Alternativeto to initially select the provider you are interested in.When we conducted a closed beta testing for signNow recently, one of the goals was to understand the main criterias SMB owners from US use to choose a solution or switch to another one.We interviewed more than 230 businesses and what’s interesting, while the top factor goes to Security&data privacy, price or for example, digital signature availability is not in Top-3 of choices. Speed of an app/solution and multiplatform availability (works in web browser as well as on Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows devices) are what values higher.So, if there is a need to sign/send documents on Mac, iphone/ipad, android, windows and web browser and to work with documents offline, signNow is alternative to go with. We are still in beta, implementing some major requests from our beta users, but will be launching this September.And, signNow is free while in beta.
