How do you create the best electronic signature for your name?

There are different software solutions for signing documents electronically. Some are cloud-based, while others can be downloaded and set up on your device. Some services provide users with limited signing tools or limit the number of daily forms you can eSign. Overall, an eSigning service needs to comply with industry regulations. In other words, it should meet data security, privacy, and signer authentication requirements according to primary eSignature laws, like ESIGN or UETA. To help you save time searching for the right solution, we recommend you try signNow. It’s a robust, cloud-based service that meets all industry requirements and provides users with a broad set of tools for complex eSignature workflows. With its easy-to-use document editor, you can quickly create the best electronic signature for your name that can look just like your handwritten one. Simply upload a form that needs approval, open it in the editor, and click on My Signature. Then, type in your full name and customize the font style. Alternatively, you can draw your signature or add an image of your handwritten autograph.

Can I type my name for my electronic signature?

Yes, you can type your name to eSign a document. But you can’t simply type in your name with a tool like MS Word or other document editors as it will not be considered a legitimate signature.

It meets data security, privacy, signer’s authentication, user’s intent to sign and work electronically, and audit log requirements. Therefore, all electronically signed paperwork in signNow is legally binding and court-admissible.
