What does document signing software do?

Document signing software enables the application of electronic signatures to electronic documents. It’s essential to and used by various organizations, including financial institutions, government agencies, insurance providers, and healthcare organizations, to digitize, automate, and streamline their paper-based processes, facilitating a transition to paperless document signing workflows. By eliminating the need for physical documents, printing, faxing, and scanning, document signing software allows users to sign digital documents in real-time. This can be done through standalone signature apps or by integrating the solution into existing business processes and applications. E-signatures offer improved accuracy, eliminate contract errors and oversights, and provide a higher level of identity assurance compared to traditional wet ink signatures.

The legality of signing agreements using document signing software platforms is well-established in over 60 countries globally. These countries have passed legislation to legalize and regulate the use of electronic signatures. Electronic signatures generally hold the same legal standing and admissibility in court as hand-drawn signatures, with few exceptions. Key examples of electronic signature legislation include the United States' Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act), the Universal Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the European Union's eIDAS Regulation. However, it's important to note that specific requirements and types of e-signatures permitted may vary from country to country. Therefore, it is advisable to review the e-signature legality guide specific to your country for a comprehensive understanding of the requirements.
