Are eSignatures legally enforceable?
電子簽名是否具有法律效力？
eSignatures are legally binding in many countries or regions for many types of documents. This includes the US and EU. For example, the US federal government established the validity of e-signature through the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or ESIGN in 2000. This act grants eSignatures the same legal status as handwritten signatures in most contexts.
在許多國家或區域，電子簽名對很多類型的文件均具有法律約束力。這包括美國及歐盟。例如，美國聯邦政府於 2000 年通過《全球和國家商務電子簽名法案》認可電子簽名的有效性。在大多情況下，此法案賦予電子簽名與手寫簽名相同的法律地位。
