Understanding the Different Types of E-Signatures

Blog Article

Not all e-signatures are created equal. Understanding the different types can help you choose the most appropriate one for your needs:

• Simple Electronic Signatures (SES): Basic signatures, such as typing your name or pasting an image of your signature.


• Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES): Provide higher security and are uniquely linked to the signer, often requiring a digital certificate.


• Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES): Offer the highest level of security and are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures. They require a qualified digital certificate and are usually backed by a trusted service provider.

Each type has its own use cases and legal implications, so it’s important to choose wisely.
