No, as a recipient you do not need an account to sign a document with Scrive. However, to create and send documents for signing, you need to register an account.

Some people like to have a personal scribble at the bottom of a digital agreement, just like on paper, even though it has no legal effect. You can do that easily using our free trial for Scrive eSign Online. Before sending the document, just drag and drop a signature box onto the document. The signatory can draw their signature in the box with a mouse or touch screen (read more about the signing options here). Then they click the signing button to make it legal.

You can also create an electronic signature for free using Adobe and Word.

In reality, this is actually three questions in one: 1) Are e-signatures legally binding? 2) How do I prove the identity of the signing parties? and 3) What evidence can I show later?

From a legal perspective, e-signatures can actually be stronger than traditional pen and paper signatures. Learn more about the legal aspects of e-signatures
