What is an Electronic Signature (eSignature)? An electronic signature is any method that indicates a signers' intention that can be confirmed later as authentic. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce or E-Sign Act defines an electronic signature as 'an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.' In other words, any interaction that: • Shows intent—such as a click, typed text, sound, picture, fingerprint scan, etc. • Can be properly applied to the document at the time of signing. • Becomes part of the document in a way that can't be repudiated.
