What are eSignatures?

eSignatures, or electronic signatures, are digital versions of handwritten signatures. They are used to sign documents electronically, providing a fast and efficient way to obtain signatures without needing physical paper. eSignatures are legally binding in many countries, including the United States, under laws such as the ESIGN Act and UETA.
