In the U.S., the ESIGN Act confirms that electronic signatures constitute legally enforceable documents if all parties choose to sign digitally. Electronic signatures are valid in all U.S. states and are granted the same legal status as handwritten signatures under state laws.
When e-signatures are combined with tamper-proof sealing, strong authentication, world-class security and an audit trail like Docusign offers, they provide stronger court-admissible evidence than a simple wet signature or scanned image of a signature on a PDF.
An electronic signature, like those supported by Docusign eSignature, is typically all that is needed to create a legally enforceable document. When you need additional authentication or a digital signature, you can use tools like Docusign Standards-Based Signatures to digitally sign a document.
