An electronic signature allows users to sign documents online without printing or scanning — but to ensure it’s valid, it must meet legal requirements. With the right tools, you can easily create eSignatures that are both fast and fully compliant.

What Makes It Legally Binding

To be legally accepted, an electronic signature must prove:

  • the signer’s intent,

  • their identity,

  • and the integrity of the signed file.


Regulations like eIDAS and the ESIGN Act define the technical and legal standards. Trusted platforms such as DocuChain’s electronic signature service are designed to meet these requirements by default.

How to Create Electronic Signature

Creating a valid electronic signature is simple:

  1. Upload your file

  2. Add signature fields

  3. Send it to recipients

  4. Receive a signed document with a full audit trail


You can create electronic signature online in just a few clicks, with legally binding results.
