What makes an online signature legal?

0

The legislation regarding online signatures is still evolving, and varies from state to state. Based on our research, we’ve found the following four points most applicable in making an online signature legally binding: • The signature must be unique to the signer and and the context in which it is used. Meaning, your signature must come only from you. • The signature can be used to objectively identify the individual. • The signature was created by the identified person in a manner that is reliable. • The signature is linked to the document in such a way that if it is intentionally or unintentionally modified, the signature is invalid.
