Is an electronic signature legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally enforceable in interstate transactions under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and in most intrastate cases under UETA if the four-prong test is satisfied: intent to sign, consent to transact electronically, attribution to the signer, and ability to retain and reproduce the record.

Do I need the document notarized?

Not generally for commercial contracts. Notarization is usually optional unless a particular transaction type requires it (for example, deeds or some powers of attorney). Check the relevant statute or recipient requirement before requesting notarization.

What if a signer’s name doesn’t match?

Correct the signer's name to match government or formation records. If a correction cannot be made immediately, add an executed name-affidavit or amendment to avoid banking, tax, or counterparty acceptance delays.

Can the document be notarized remotely?

Possibly. Remote online notarization (RON) is authorized in most states with varying rules for identity proofing, A/V recording, and retention; verify your state notary commission's requirements before using RON.

What level of signer authentication is appropriate?

Use email-only for low-risk deals and multi-factor or identity-proofing (SMS, KBA, credential analysis) for high-value or regulated agreements to strengthen evidentiary weight.

What if a signer refuses electronic signing?

ESIGN requires consumer-facing transactions include a consent disclosure; if a signer declines electronic signing, offer a paper alternative and ensure records document the withdrawal of consent per 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
