What is the electronic signature enforceable

An electronic signature is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. Under U.S. law, specifically the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), electronic signatures are considered legally enforceable, just like traditional handwritten signatures. This means that documents signed electronically carry the same weight in legal proceedings as those signed on paper.

Next, upload this document to airSlate SignNow, where you can easily add signature fields for yourself and any other signers. Once the document is prepared, you can send it for signature via email. Recipients will receive a notification, allowing them to review and sign the document electronically. After all parties have signed, the completed document is securely stored, ensuring easy access and compliance.

By adhering to these guidelines, users can confidently utilize electronic signatures in various legal contexts.
