Are Phone-Signed PDFs Legally Binding in the US?
Electronic signatures can be valid in many US transactions, but not every form accepts every signing method. Consent, intent, attribution and the specific transaction matter.
Your practical walkthrough
Check the signing instructions
Use the recipient’s current form. Confirm whether electronic handwriting is accepted or paper signing is required.
Add your signature and date
Draw your own signature, position it inside the signature field and review any required initials.
Inspect the exported PDF
Save a separate final copy. Confirm that no signature, date or required page is missing before sharing.
Check this before you send
Check the recipient's signature instructions and applicable rules. Notarized documents, court filings and some notices have additional requirements. A flattened handwriting image is not a cryptographic signature or a verified audit trail.

Questions people ask
Do I need an account?
Not to scan, sign, annotate or export locally. Fax and optional cloud backup require an account.
Does a delivery receipt prove acceptance?
No. It records transmission status, not human review, legal service or approval of a filing.
Can I send an international fax?
SignaraScan fax coverage is limited to the United States and Canada.
