The Legality of eSignings

One question we get asked constantly: "Will this hold up in court?"

The Short Answer: Yes.

In the United States, the ESIGN Act (2000) and UETA grant electronic signatures the same legal status as handwritten ones. If a law ensures a signature, an electronic one suffices.

Europe (eIDAS)

In the EU, the eIDAS Regulation provides a standardized framework for secure digital transactions across European borders.

When to use Ink?

Very few documents still require a "wet" signature today. These typically include:

• Wills and Trusts
• Specific types of real estate foreclosures
• Court orders

For almost everything else—sales contracts, NDAs, employment offers—an eSignature from Docorio is fast, secure, and legally recognized.
