The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (2000) gives electronic signatures the same legal weight as handwritten ones.

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, adopted by 49 states, confirms that a contract cannot be denied enforceability solely because it was signed electronically.

Every signature is captured with a timestamp, signer identity, and tamper-evident sealing — the evidence you need if an agreement is ever challenged.

Frequently asked questions
Are these templates really free?
Yes. You can fill in, preview, and download every template at no cost. You only pay if you choose to send the document for electronic signature through Certyneo, and new accounts get free envelopes to start.
Is a document I sign electronically legally binding in the US?
In almost all cases, yes. Under the federal ESIGN Act and the state-level UETA, electronic signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures for most business and personal contracts. A few document types (wills, certain notices) still require paper.
Do I need a lawyer?
These templates are a solid starting point for common situations, but they are not legal advice. For high-stakes agreements or unusual circumstances, have a licensed attorney review the document before signing.
Which states are covered?
Electronic signatures are valid in all 50 states thanks to the ESIGN Act. Each template lets you choose the governing-law state so the wording matches your jurisdiction.
Is my data stored?
The template generator runs entirely in your browser — the information you type never leaves your device until you decide to send the document for signature.
