An eSignature is a handwritten autograph of a person that can be created on various devices — from desktops to tablets to smartphones — with the help of the appropriate software. They’re used to confirm the integrity and authenticity of a signed document in its electronic form. eSignatures are advantageous features for certifying documents online quickly. And they help companies to conclude transactions, manage relevant records quickly and significantly save time and reduce expenses. Check it out!

In general, a digital signature is a reliable way to implement an electronic signature when the signature is verified by obtaining a certificate of authentication based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) protocol from a government-authorized Certifying Authority (CA). In the case of eSignatures, the authenticity of the signer is not required to be certified.

They are legally-binding and can even serve as evidence during disputes and in court. Certifying papers electronically was first recognized as the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature in the U.S. eSignature Act of 2000 (U.S. Federal Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA). Additionally, corresponding laws in many other countries have followed this example. airSlate SignNow works according to these laws and is considered to be a certified and trusted software provider.
