Is an electronic signature valid?

Yes, in most cases. The ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA (adopted by 49 states) make electronic signatures legally equivalent to handwritten ones when intent, consent, attribution, and reliable retention are present.

When is notarization required?

Notarization depends on the document's legal effect and state rules. If the form is used as part of a real estate conveyance, power of attorney, or deed, state notary and witness rules typically apply and must be followed.

Can I e-sign healthcare-related entries?

Yes with protections. When records contain PHI, execute a Business Associate Agreement and ensure workflows meet HIPAA administrative, technical, and physical safeguard requirements (45 CFR parts 160–164).

How do I correct submitted errors?

If a signed document contains errors, prepare an amendment or corrected statement, have required parties sign the correction, and retain both the original and corrected versions for audit purposes.

What if a vendor has no W-9?

Obtain a completed W-9 before payment to avoid backup withholding. If unavailable, backup withholding at 24% may apply and you should document efforts to obtain the W-9.

Why was my eSign rejected?

Rejections commonly arise from missing required fields, insufficient signer authentication, or incompatible file formats; validate required fields, verify signer identity method, and use PDF or DOCX formats for best results.

It typically lists the service description, dates, parties involved, hours or units, agreed rates, and any reimbursable expenses.
