E-Sign's electronic signature platform incorporates all the legal requirements worldwide, to ensure your documents can be signed and completed, anywhere in the world.
Electronic signature transactions are a recognised and legally binding method of nearly all business and personal document transactions within the UK and around the world.
A legally binding advanced electronic signature must meet the following requirements:
Within the UK, E-Signs digital signature solution complies with the definition of an electronic signature under the Electronic Communications Act 2000.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions, commonly known as eIDAS, took direct effect in EU member states from 1 July 2016. It established a EU-wide legal framework for electronic signatures. E-Sign’s digital signature solution is compliant with eIDAS and EU electronic signature technical standards. E-Sign is also compliant with GDPR.
E-Sign’s digital signature solution complies with the definition of an e-signature under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Digital Signature and Electronic Authentication Law. ESIGN Act (2000) addresses e-signatures and e-records, allowing for electronic signatures in all 50 states when federal law applies. It defines an e-signature as an electronic sound, symbol, process attached to or logically associated with a document and executed or adopted by an individual with the intent to sign and be legally bound. E-Sign also complies with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA, 1999)
Unlike a handwritten signature, which is generally the same mark on every document, E-Sign’s digital signature is 100% unique to every document.
