Electronic Signature Legality

What is the US eSign Act

The US eSign Act, enacted in 2000, establishes the legal validity of electronic signatures and records in the United States. This law ensures that electronic signatures hold the same weight as traditional handwritten signatures, provided that all parties involved consent to use electronic means for signing documents. The act promotes the use of electronic transactions in commerce and facilitates a more efficient, paperless workflow.

How to Use the US eSign Act

To utilize the US eSign Act effectively, businesses must ensure that all parties agree to conduct transactions electronically. This includes providing clear information about the electronic signing process and obtaining consent from all signers. Using a reliable eSignature platform like airSlate SignNow simplifies this process, allowing users to fill out, sign, and send documents securely while remaining compliant with the eSign Act.
