FAQ: Electronic Signature Form with AidaForm
What is an electronic signature?
An electronic signature is a digital way to sign documents or forms online. Instead of using pen and paper, you can sign with your mouse, stylus or even your finger. It’s quick, easy and just as valid as traditional signatures in many cases. AidaForm lets you easily create an online form with a signature for any occasion.
What is the difference between electronic signature and digital signature?
While the terms are often mixed up, they’re not the same. A digital signature uses cryptographic technology to guarantee a document’s security and integrity – like a high-tech seal of approval. It ensures the document hasn’t been tampered with. In many European countries, a qualified electronic signature (QES) is considered just as official as a good old-fashioned handwritten signature.
An electronic signature, on the other hand, is a bit more casual. It could be as simple as an image of your signature pasted into a Word or PDF file or even your email sign-off. It’s simply a convenient way to sign online — quick, easy and less formal.
AidaForm, your go-to form builder with signature collection, specializes in electronic signatures, helping you streamline your paperwork without working with cryptographic technologies. If you aren’t completely sure an electronic signature is enough for your form, make sure to ask for legal advice.
Are electronic signature forms legally binding?
Yes, in most cases, forms signed with electronic signatures are legally binding. Laws vary by region, but as long as the signature is unique to the signer and linked to the document, it’s usually considered valid. Platforms like AidaForm also ensure that signed forms are locked and unalterable to provide extra security.
In the U.S., electronic signatures are generally accepted as legally binding, but always double-check your local laws or consult a legal expert for specific cases.
Is AidaForm DPA and GDPR-compliant?
Absolutely. AidaForm has all you need to make your forms fully GDPR and DPA compliant. You can link terms and conditions to your website’s privacy page or display your privacy policy in a pop-up window. Plus, all data is transmitted and stored using encrypted SSL connections to keep your information safe. For details, check out our Privacy Policy .
How do I add a signature in a form?
Adding a signature field is a breeze with AidaForm. Just drag and drop the form signature template as a pre-programmed field into your form. Your respondents can then sign using their mouse, stylus or finger – just like signing on paper, only easier!
Can I create a form with a signature field for free?
Not quite. The signature field is part of our advanced tools, available in the paid Expert and Ultimate plans. However, you can try it out risk-free with a two-week free trial. Contact our support team to get started!
