Signable eSignatures FAQ

Signable is simple eSignature software that makes it easier to send documents to be electronically signed. It can speed up your workflow, save your business money, and help you to become more sustainable.

Instead of sending out physical documents to be signed and waiting to get them back, with eSignatures you can get signed documents in moments. eSignatures are legally binding, and you’ll have a full audit trail to track the signing process. Using eSignatures can streamline your processes, save time, and improve your sign rate.

Yes, eSignatures are legally binding. In the UK, electronic signatures have been accepted since the introduction of the Electronic Communications Act of 2000 and the eSign act of 2000.

The 2016 eIDAS regulation provides a consistent framework for secure electronic identification and verification across the European Union. Since leaving the EU, the UK has replicated the eIDAS legislations, so the same regulations for electronic documents and signatures are applied. Supplementing the eIDAS regulation, the UK Law Commission states that:

Electronic signatures can be used to execute documents, including where there is a statutory requirement for a signature. This means that, in most cases, electronic signatures can be used as a viable alternative to handwritten ones.

The USA has the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) that has been in place since 1999.

Yes, electronic signatures can be used in a number of countries outside of the UK, USA, and EU.

This should cover the laws and requirements for eSignatures and give you an understanding of how online signing works in each country.
