What is the eSignature?

An eSignature, or electronic signature, is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. This modern method of signing documents offers a secure and efficient alternative to traditional handwritten signatures. eSignatures are legally recognized in the United States under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), ensuring their validity in various legal contexts.

How to Use the eSignature

To use an eSignature, start by creating or uploading your document to the airSlate SignNow platform. You can easily fill out forms by adding text fields, checkboxes, or dropdown menus. Once your document is prepared, you can request signatures from others by entering their email addresses. Recipients will receive a notification to review and eSign the document electronically. After all parties have signed, the completed document is securely stored for future reference.

Steps to Complete the eSignature

Completing an eSignature involves a few straightforward steps:

1. Log in to your airSlate SignNow account and upload the document you wish to sign.
2. Use the editing tools to fill out any necessary information in the document.
3. Add signature fields where required, indicating where each signer should sign.
4. Send the document for signature by entering the email addresses of the recipients.
5. Once all parties have signed, download or share the final document as needed.

Legal Use of the eSignature

eSignatures are legally binding in the United States, provided they meet certain criteria. The signatory must have the intent to sign, consent to use electronic signatures, and the signature must be associated with the document. It is essential to ensure that the eSignature process complies with relevant state laws and regulations, as some jurisdictions may have specific requirements regarding electronic transactions.
