signed document
Executed legal paper
A signed document is a written record bearing a signature that authenticates it or indicates agreement to its terms.
The signature—whether handwritten, electronic, or digital—transforms a mere document into something with legal or formal weight: Keep the signed document for your records.
Contracts, wills, and official forms typically require signing to take effect.
