FAQ: Online Forms with Signatures
What Is an Electronic Signature?
It’s a digital way to sign documents or forms online. Instead of using pen and paper, respondents can draw their signature with a mouse, stylus or by tapping with their finger. It’s quick, easy and just as valid as traditional signatures in many cases. AidaForm gives you the tools to build a customized online form with a signature for any occasion.
What Is the Difference between an Electronic Signature and a Digital Signature?
While the terms are often mixed up, they’re not the same. A digital signature applies cryptographic algorithms to safeguard a file’s authenticity and integrity — serving as a modern, tamper-proof seal. In many European countries, a qualified electronic signature (QES) is treated as legally equivalent to a traditional handwritten one.
An electronic signature, on the other hand, is generally more informal. 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 e-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 situations, documents authorized with e-signatures carry full legal validity. 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 records are processed and preserved through SSL-secured encrypted connections to keep your information safe. For details, check out our Privacy Policy.
How to Add a Signature in a Form?
Adding a Signature field is simple with AidaForm. Just drag and drop a prebuilt signature block into your form — then respondents can sketch their signature directly with a cursor, touchscreen or stylus.
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!
