Electronic Signature (e-signature)

An electronic signature, or e-signature, is a digital way to sign documents, making it a convenient alternative to handwritten signatures. It can be as simple as a typed name, a scanned image of your signature, or a unique code. E-signatures are legally binding in many countries, provided they meet certain criteria, like the intention to sign and consent from all parties. They streamline processes, reduce paperwork, and enhance efficiency in transactions, such as contracts and agreements, allowing people to sign documents electronically from anywhere, often using computers or smartphones.
