Frequently asked questions
Is an electronic signature on a PDF enforceable in court?+
Yes — for most commercial contracts, an electronic signature is enforceable under UK law. Some contracts (e.g., wills, land transfers) require wet ink signatures — check legal requirements for your specific contract type.
Can I add a date and time stamp alongside the signature?+
Yes — add a text stamp with the date and time in addition to the signature.
What if the other party requires DocuSign specifically?+
If the counterpart requires a specific e-signature platform (DocuSign, Adobe Sign), use that platform. This tool is suitable when both parties agree to standard electronic signatures.
