Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act

The Signature in Global and National Commerce Act (SIGNA) simplifies how electronic signatures are used in business and government transactions. It recognizes that digital signatures are legally valid, like handwritten ones, as long as they meet certain security standards. This law aims to make online and electronic dealings faster, more secure, and trustworthy, reducing paper-based processes. Essentially, it provides a clear legal framework so businesses and individuals can confidently sign documents electronically, facilitating efficient commerce across states and countries.
