## Are these signatures legally binding?

They absolutely can be! Read more about it here

Under the ESIGN Act, some types of documents CAN NOT BE SIGNED ELECTRONICALLY. This includes:

- Marriage, Birth, and Death certificates
- Wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts
- Depending on your state, "DNR" orders, general powers of attorney, and any document which specifies a physical signature.

In summary (for the USA) all ESIGN Act requirements can be met:

- By generating the signature, and choosing to use it in a document, you are demonstrating intent to sign.
- By using the signature you are consenting to do business electronically with those you are signing with.
- The Opt-out clause is not applicable to generating a signature, since you can always choose not to use it.
- All signers must recieve "Fully Executed" and fully signed copies of the document for the signature to be legally binding.
- You may be required to retain digital records of the document under the ESIGN Act.
