wet signatures
Handwritten name markings
A wet signature is a handwritten signature made with ink on paper, as opposed to an electronic or digital signature.
The "wet" refers to the ink that must dry after signing.
The term emerged as electronic alternatives became common, creating the need to distinguish traditional signatures: The contract requires wet signatures from all parties.
Legal and financial documents often still require wet signatures for authenticity.
