What is an eSign?
An eSign, or electronic signature, is a digital representation of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. This method of signing allows individuals and businesses to complete agreements without the need for physical paperwork. eSigns are legally recognized 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 hold the same legal weight as traditional handwritten signatures.
How to Use an eSign
Using an eSign is a straightforward process. With airSlate SignNow, you can easily fill out and sign documents electronically. Start by uploading your document to the platform. Once uploaded, you can add text fields, checkboxes, or signature fields as needed. After customizing the document, you can send it for signature to one or more recipients. They will receive an email notification prompting them to review and sign the document online. Once all parties have signed, the completed document is securely stored for future reference.
Steps to Complete an eSign
Completing an eSign involves several simple steps:
- Log in to your airSlate SignNow account.
- Upload the document you wish to sign.
- Add necessary fields, such as signature, date, and text boxes.
- Send the document to the required signers by entering their email addresses.
- Wait for the recipients to review and sign the document.
- Receive notifications when the document is signed by all parties.
- Download or store the completed document securely.
Legal Use of an eSign
eSigns are legally binding in the United States, provided they meet specific criteria. The signer must have the intent to sign, the signature must be associated with the document, and both parties must agree to use electronic signatures. It is important to ensure that the eSigning process is secure and that the identity of the signer is verified. Using a reputable platform like airSlate SignNow helps maintain compliance with legal standards and protects against fraud.

When using eSignatures, security and compliance are paramount. airSlate SignNow employs advanced encryption methods to protect documents during transmission and storage.

The flexibility of eSigning allows for quick turnaround times and reduces the reliance on paper, benefiting both the environment and operational efficiency.
