According to the ESIGN law, an electronic signature is “an electronic sound, symbol or process that is attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.” You can use any acceptable digital means to create an eSignature, but you need to keep in mind that specific legal requirements are met.

• All signers have voluntarily agreed to the terms described in the document.
• All signing parties must provide their consent to do business electronically.
• The signer's identity is authenticated and linked to the signature through audit trails, timestamps, duo-factor authentication, etc.
• eSignature records are preserved and available for reproduction.

If the eSignature solution of your choice follows all data management regulations, the executed copy will be considered law-enforceable. You can certify almost any document electronically unless the requirements say it needs a wet-ink signature. Some examples of documents requiring a physical signature are living wills, court orders, divorce papers, and some IRS forms. The legal recognition of eSignatures in Europe, the US, the UK, and others is backed up by the following laws: ESIGN, eIDAS, and UETA.
