To use online signature making, start by selecting the document you wish to sign. Upload the document to the airSlate SignNow platform, where you can easily add your signature. You can either draw your signature using a mouse or touchscreen, upload an image of your signature, or type it out in a font that resembles handwriting.

Legal use of the online signature making

Online signatures are legally recognized under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) in the United States.

This makes online signature making a reliable option for contracts, agreements, and other legal documents.
