ESIGN and UETA support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record reproduction can be demonstrated.

For a consumer-facing electronic record, provide the ESIGN disclosure, explain the right to receive paper records, confirm electronic access, and explain withdrawal procedures. These requirements arise under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), not from signNow itself.
Open the completed document’s audit trail and retain the event history with the signed proceeding. The audit trail should show signer actions, timestamps, and delivery information, supporting attribution and later reproduction under ESIGN and UETA.
Electronic signing does not resolve exclusions for wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, official court filings, or family law decrees. Confirm the proceeding’s legal category and any state-specific filing or notarization rule before relying on an electronic record.
