Understanding the electronic signature

An electronic signature, or eSignature, is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. It holds the same legal weight as a handwritten signature in the United States, provided it meets specific criteria outlined in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act. Users can save their electronic signature for repeated use, allowing for efficient document signing without the need to recreate it for each transaction.

With airSlate SignNow, users can easily create and save their electronic signature for future use. After signing a document, the signature is stored securely within the user's account. To reuse the signature, users simply need to select it from their saved signatures when prompted during the signing process.
