Is an electronic signature legal?
In England and Wales, the Law Commission has confirmed that electronic signatures can be used to sign documents, including where the law requires a signature. Some documents still have special rules: a deed needs a witness who is physically present, and wills can’t yet be signed electronically. This tool adds an image of your signature. It isn’t a certificate-based digital signature, so check whether the person you’re sending it to needs one.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened and signed in your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I sign more than one page?
Sign one page, download it, then open the signed file and sign the next page.
Can I sign a password-protected PDF?
No. Unlock it first with the password.
Is a typed signature valid?
A typed name can be a valid electronic signature in England and Wales, as long as you intend it to be your signature.
