e-signature
Online contract approval
An e-signature is an electronic method of signing documents—typically a typed name, drawn signature on a touchscreen, or cryptographic verification.
E-signatures carry legal weight for contracts, agreements, and official forms: Just add your e-signature at the bottom and we're done.
Also written as esignature or electronic signature.
