What is the electronic signature

An electronic signature, often referred to as eSignature, is a digital representation of a person’s intent to agree to the contents of a document. It is legally recognized in the United States under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). This means that electronic signatures hold the same legal weight as traditional handwritten signatures when used appropriately. They streamline the signing process, making it more efficient and accessible for individuals and businesses alike.

How to use the electronic signature

Using an electronic signature is straightforward with airSlate SignNow. Users can upload a document that requires a signature, fill out any necessary fields, and then add their eSignature.

Legal use of the electronic signature

Electronic signatures are legally binding in the United States, provided they meet certain criteria. The signer must have the intent to sign, the signature must be associated with the document, and both parties must consent to the use of electronic signatures. Compliance with regulations such as the ESIGN Act and UETA is crucial for ensuring that the eSignature is valid. Businesses should also maintain records of consent and signature disclosures to safeguard against potential disputes.
