Implementing Digital Signatures & E-Signatures with DocuSign

Electronic signatures are a fast and simple way of signing agreements and can be used in nearly all the same instances as handwritten signatures. Digital signatures, a type of electronic signature, offer a heightened level of identity assurance, like electronic “fingerprints.” They securely associate a signer with a document in a recorded transaction in the form of a coded message.

DocuSign supports electronic and digital signatures around the world, including the three signature levels defined by the European Union through the eIDAS regulation: electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures, and qualified electronic signatures.
