Electronic Signature Legality

What is the scanned signature

A scanned signature is a digital representation of a handwritten signature, created by scanning a physical signature using a scanner or a mobile device. This image can be embedded into electronic documents, allowing users to sign forms and contracts without the need for physical paperwork. The scanned signature retains the unique characteristics of the original signature, making it recognizable and authentic.

How to use the scanned signature

Using a scanned signature is straightforward. First, you need to create a high-quality image of your signature. This can be done by signing on a piece of paper and scanning it or using a mobile app to capture the signature directly. Once you have the image, you can upload it to airSlate SignNow. From there, you can easily insert your scanned signature into any document that requires your signature, facilitating a seamless signing process.

Steps to complete the scanned signature

  5. Save the document and send it for signature or download it for your records.

Legal use of the scanned signature

Scanned signatures can be legally binding in many situations, provided they meet certain criteria. In the United States, electronic signatures, including scanned signatures, are governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws affirm that electronic signatures hold the same legal weight as handwritten signatures, as long as the parties involved agree to use electronic methods for signing.

Ensure that the scanned signature is stored securely to prevent unauthorized access. airSlate SignNow employs advanced encryption methods to protect documents and signatures. Additionally, always verify the identity of the signers and maintain an audit trail of the signing process to ensure compliance with legal standards.
