An e-signature is a digital version of a handwritten signature that allows individuals to sign documents electronically. It can take various forms, such as a typed name, a scanned image of a signature, or a unique digital code. E-signatures are commonly used in online transactions, contracts, and agreements, making the signing process faster and more efficient. The use of e-signatures is supported by laws in many countries, ensuring their legality and security. They help reduce paper waste and streamline workflows, as documents can be signed and sent instantly over the internet. This technology is widely adopted in business, finance, and legal sectors.
