Electronic Signature

An electronic signature is any electronic mark, symbol, or process a person uses to sign a document with intent to agree to it. That can be a typed name, a drawn signature, or a click of an "I agree" button. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA, a valid electronic signature is as legally binding as a pen-and-paper one for the vast majority of business documents.

What makes an electronic signature hold up is not how fancy it looks, it is the evidence around it: proof of who signed, when, and that they intended to. A solid audit trail is what turns a click into an enforceable signature. Popform, like other e-signature tools, produces that record automatically on every signed document.
