The entire process is digital — upload your PDF, draw or type your signature, place it on the page and download your signed document. The signature is embedded permanently into the PDF file, so the signed version looks professional and can be sent, filed or stored exactly as is.
Are Electronic Signatures Legally Valid?
Electronic signatures are legally recognised across the UK, Europe and the United States. In the UK, the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the eIDAS Regulation provide the legal basis. In the US, the ESIGN Act and UETA cover electronic signatures at federal and state level. For most everyday business and personal documents — contracts, agreements, consents and authorisations — an electronic signature has the same legal standing as a handwritten one.
