Electronic Signatures While the industry has quickly adapted to exchanging documents electronically, the process of getting a signature has long been the show-stopper that delays the completion of transactions. Collecting signatures used to mean physically moving paper from one location to another or relying on faxed copies that are hard to read and legally unreliable. With ZipForm’s new Esign service, physical pen-and-ink signatures are a thing of the past. ZipFormEsign offers an efficient, cost-effective, and completely legal alternative to traditional signatures, allowing documents to be signed and initialed from anywhere in the world.
Collecting an electronic signature is a simple process. If you can send an email, you can send documents online for clients to sign electronically. The only technical requirements are a valid email address and an internet connection.
Desktop users must be connected to the internet in order to send files to be signed electronically.
Users are required to register an Esign account and create a personal electronic signature before documents can be sent.
Forms are collected and sent for signatures in “electronic envelopes.” To begin the process of collecting electronic signatures, select Electronic Signatures from the File menu or click on the electronic signatures icon in the toolbar.
Select the documents you want to send by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the form name. Click OK.
