Understanding Electronic Signatures

An electronic signature, or e-signature, is a legal way to get consent or approval on electronic documents or forms. It can be used to replace a handwritten signature in virtually any process. According to regulations like the ESIGN Act in the United States, electronic signatures are legally binding and hold the same weight as their pen-and-paper counterparts. For more information, you can read about the legal basis of electronic signatures on Wikipedia’s detailed page.
