Independent Agency Forms

• Printing, signing with a pen, scanning, and emailing to the recipient
• Agreeing with the document terms by ticking the signature box
• Inserting an image of your handwritten signature on a document
• Signing with fingerprints
• Using a specialized electronic signature solution
• Using a highly encrypted digital signature software
If you’re looking for a solution with added security, you need to consider choosing more complex methods, like a digital signature. Under the hood of digital signature, there are a lot of mathematical algorithms that provide extra capabilities for identifying the signer. Electronic signatures are perfectly acceptable for a majority of forms and documents that public and government organizations deal with (such as Assurances Statement, Immunization Form, Hubzone certification, etc). In addition, today, most of the eSignature solutions come with advanced security and encryption. However, the ESIGN Act mentioned above does not apply to certain documents, such as wills, court orders, and divorce forms.

Today the market is saturated with different free and paid eSignature solutions that claim to make a difference to your daily eSignature workflows. To make the right decision, you need to do extensive research and check what exactly suits your agency’s needs. But there are some universal criteria that you need to watch out for when deciding. Here are some of them.

Easy-to-use. The solution of your choice should be easy to implement and ready to go out of the box, requiring no extra IT staff to be hired.

Full-featured. The solution should be robust enough to spare you from the need to use multiple vendors to set up your eSignature workflow from A to Z. It should include the ability to integrate with existing workspace services, applications, and systems of record without coding.

Industry-compliant. Select the solution that always stays up to date with ever-changing data protection policies. Make sure the vendor you’re considering has all the needed frameworks in place to meet the requirements of your document-based processes.
