What is an electronic signature?
An electronic signature, often referred to as an eSignature, is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. It serves the same legal purpose as a handwritten signature, allowing individuals and businesses to sign contracts, agreements, and other documents electronically. eSignatures are widely accepted across various industries in the United States, thanks to laws such as the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
Steps to complete an electronic signature
Completing an electronic signature with airSlate SignNow is a straightforward process. Here are the steps involved:
- Upload the document you need to sign. This can be done by dragging and dropping the file into the airSlate SignNow interface or selecting it from your device.
- Choose the area in the document where you want to place your signature. This can include fields for initials, dates, or other required information.
- Sign the document electronically. You can draw your signature using a mouse or touchscreen, type your name, or select from pre-stored signatures.
- Review the document to ensure all information is correct and complete before finalizing.
- Send the document for signature to other parties if needed, or save it for your records.
Legal use of electronic signatures
In the United States, electronic signatures are legally binding and enforceable, provided they meet certain criteria. The ESIGN Act and UETA establish that eSignatures have the same legal standing as traditional signatures. To ensure compliance, it is essential to use a reliable eSignature platform like airSlate SignNow that adheres to legal standards. This includes maintaining the integrity of the signed document, providing a clear audit trail, and ensuring the signer's consent to use electronic signatures.
