Understanding electronic signatures
Electronic signatures, or eSignatures, are digital representations of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. They 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). This means that eSignatures hold the same weight as traditional handwritten signatures, making them a reliable option for signing documents electronically.
Steps to complete the document electronically
To have someone sign a document electronically using airSlate SignNow, follow these steps:
- Upload the document you need signed to the airSlate SignNow platform.
- Use the editing tools to add fields for signatures, dates, and any other necessary information.
- Enter the email address of the person you want to sign the document.
- Send the document for signature. The recipient will receive an email notification with a link to the document.
- Once the recipient reviews and signs the document, you will receive a notification that the signing process is complete.
Legal use of electronic signatures
Electronic signatures are legally binding in most cases, provided they meet certain criteria. The signatory must have the intent to sign, the signature must be associated with the document, and the signer must consent to use electronic signatures. It is essential to ensure compliance with both federal and state laws governing eSignatures to avoid potential legal issues.
Security and compliance guidelines
When using airSlate SignNow for electronic signatures, security is paramount. The platform employs encryption to protect documents during transmission and storage. Additionally, airSlate SignNow complies with various regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. Users should also implement strong authentication methods to verify the identity of signers.
Documents you can sign electronically
Many types of documents can be signed electronically, including contracts, agreements, forms, and consent documents. Common use cases include real estate transactions, employment contracts, and legal agreements. The versatility of electronic signatures allows businesses to streamline their processes and reduce the reliance on paper-based documentation.
Sending and signing methods
airSlate SignNow offers multiple methods for sending and signing documents. Users can access the platform via web browsers, mobile devices, or dedicated apps. This flexibility allows signers to complete documents at their convenience, whether in the office or on the go.

Timeframes and processing delays
The time it takes to complete the signing process can vary based on the number of signers and their availability. Typically, once a document is sent for signature, recipients can sign it within minutes. However, if multiple parties are involved or if signers are in different time zones, delays may occur. Keeping communication open with signers can help mitigate potential processing delays.
