What is the online hand signature
An online hand signature is a digital representation of a person's handwritten signature, created and used to sign documents electronically. This method allows individuals and businesses to authenticate documents without the need for physical paperwork. The online hand signature is legally binding and recognized under U.S. law, making it a reliable option for various transactions and agreements.
How to use the online hand signature
Using an online hand signature involves a straightforward process. First, users can create their signature using a mouse, stylus, or touchscreen device. Once created, the signature can be saved and stored securely within the airSlate SignNow platform. To sign a document, users simply upload the file, select the area where the signature is needed, and insert their online hand signature. The document can then be sent for signature to other parties, ensuring a smooth and efficient signing process.
Steps to complete the online hand signature
Completing an online hand signature is easy and can be done in a few simple steps:
- Create your online hand signature using a drawing tool on the airSlate SignNow platform.
- Upload the document you wish to sign.
- Drag and drop your signature into the designated area of the document.
- Fill out any additional required fields, such as dates or initials.
- Save the document and send it to other parties for their signatures, if needed.
Legal use of the online hand signature
The online hand signature holds the same legal weight as a traditional handwritten signature in the United States, thanks to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws ensure that electronic signatures are valid and enforceable, provided that both parties consent to use electronic means for signing. This legal recognition makes online hand signatures a practical choice for contracts, agreements, and other formal documents.

Security is a top priority when using online hand signatures. airSlate SignNow employs advanced encryption methods to protect documents and signatures during transmission and storage. Users should ensure that their accounts are secured with strong passwords and two-factor authentication.

Documents You Can Sign
Online hand signatures can be used for a wide range of documents, including:
- Contracts and agreements
- Employment forms
- Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
- Invoices and purchase orders
- Tax documents and forms
This versatility makes online hand signatures an effective solution for both personal and professional needs.
