What is the eSignature

An eSignature, or electronic signature, is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. It serves the same purpose as a handwritten signature but is created and stored electronically. eSignatures can take various forms, including typed names, scanned images of handwritten signatures, or biometric data. They are widely used in business transactions, legal agreements, and forms, facilitating a quicker and more efficient signing process.
