What is the virtual signatures

Virtual signatures, also known as electronic signatures or eSignatures, are digital representations of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. These signatures are legally binding in the United States, making them a reliable alternative to traditional handwritten signatures. Virtual signatures streamline the signing process by allowing users to complete documents online, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for physical paperwork.
