What is the difference between an in-person signature and an electronic signature?

In-person signing refers to the older more time-consuming process of printing out samples, meeting with other parties to the agreement, wet signing, sending the agreement via mail or scanning it into the computer to send via email, and then storing the hard copies. E-signing is the much faster process of creating an electronic signature in an eSignature program like airSlate SignNow, adding signature fields, assigning roles, and sending the agreement for signing to other parties involved right from airSlate SignNow. The difference between in-person and electronic signatures is in their convenience, speed, and price. By using airSlate SignNow to create an eSignature, you don't need to leave your home or office. You can even eSign forms or contracts while on the go!
