Are you tired of dealing with stacks of paperwork and the hassle of traditional document signing?

NotaryLive, an online notary platform, has the perfect solution for you.

Introducing Electronic Signature (eSign) for Business & Business Premier Accounts, a game-changer in digital document signing.

With NotaryLive's eSign software, businesses can fill and sign documents with ease – streamlining their operations, and saving time, money, and effort.

 

1. What is eSign?

eSign is an electronic signature solution offered by NotaryLive. They bring the traditional process of signing documents (that don't have notarization) all online.

It allows businesses to experience online document signing without the need for pen and paper.

This fast and efficient solution eliminates the need for printing or scanning physical copies.

With eSign, businesses can securely sign contracts, agreements, and other important paperwork online -- especially with their clients. 

There are different methods of capturing e-signatures, including:

1. Click-to-Sign: Users can simply click a button or check a box to signify their agreement or consent to the contents of a document.

2. Typed Signatures: Users can type their name or initials into a designated field to create a digital representation of their signature.

 

2. Is eSign Legally Binding?

Yes, eSignatures are legally binding and have the same legal validity as handwritten signatures in most countries.

They are protected by various laws and regulations, such as the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act in the United States and the eIDAS Regulation in the European Union.

Our eSign technology works by using advanced encryption and security measures to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of the signed documents.

The technology captures and encrypts unique identifiers and metadata associated with the signing process, such as identity verification and audit trails, to provide a comprehensive record of the signing transaction.

 

3. How Does eSign Work For Others By NotaryLive?

NotaryLive's eSign for Others feature provides additional benefits to Business Account users.

While Basic Accounts have the benefit of using eSign for Self, the Business & Premier Accounts have the opportunity to use eSign for Others (an additional feature along with eSign for Self).

Here's How It Works:

Step 1: Create and Edit the Document

As a Business Account user, you have full control over where each signer needs to place their digital signatures. You can add annotations such as "request signature" or "signing date" to guide the signers.

Step 2: Forward the Document

Once the document is set up correctly, simply forward it through email using NotaryLive's intuitive interface. This ensures that the document reaches the intended signers seamlessly.

Step 3: Signers Receive an Invitation

The signers will receive an email invitation containing an eSign button labeled "Sign now". By clicking on this button, they will be directed to the document requiring their eSignature.

Step 4: Access and Manage eSigned Documents

As a Business Account user, you can access all your eSigned documents from the dashboard. They are neatly organized in a dedicated section, making it effortless to view and manage them whenever needed.

Keep in mind that NotaryLive offers 10-year document storage, so you never have to worry about losing important paperwork.

 

4. Who Can Benefit from eSign By NotaryLive?

NotaryLive's eSign is a valuable tool for a wide range of industries, including construction, legal, real estate, education, and automotive. Here's how each industry can benefit:

1. Construction: eSign can expedite contract approvals and improve remote collaboration, ensuring smoother project kick-off.
