How does one go about doing this? I have taken a pic of my signature and then just placed that on a document but that isn't the "legal" way apparently -- anyone gone thru the legal process to get this done ?

What is the reason they are saying it's not legal?

I'm not sure this answers your question, but when I've had to sign legal documents and send them online I've had to either scan or fax the specific document that I signed.

Digicert certificates, but I think they are pretty expensive.

There is a company called DocUSign that allows you to sign documents electronically. When I had to sign some papers for the school district my son attends in they sent me the forms through Doc U Sign. It was very convenient and it's legal. I work in escrow and we accept these type of signatures as a legal and binding.
I believe the company sending you the paperwork to sign has to send you the documents through the electronic signing service to work but I'm not positive on that.

There is also EchoSign, which is Adobe's equivalent. Like DocuSign, you need to verify that you are you. In many cases, the service "talks" to your credit report and will require you to verify various pieces of information (previous addresses, who your mortgage loan is with, if you ever had a card with xyz, etc). It also tracks your IP address. The cost for the digital signature is paid for by the company who arranges/sends the document. In the case of loan documents, I'm sure the cost is built into all those fees.

We use dotloop.com. It is a monthly subscription but they have a free trial you can use. If you are sending to a business like a bank, school, large business, etc I would ask them to send *you* the documents because you wouldn't have to pay for a subscription just to sign (if you didn't use the free trial). A lot of businesses have the service and could do it for you free.
The difference between a digitized signature and e-signing a doc is the e-sign gives a date and time stamp and has security measures in place to insure you are who you say you are.

I believe this is the oldest and most well known of the many ones out there. We've used them before. |
