How to Add an E-Signature to Your Form
Back in 2013, we introduced E-Signature Widgets that you can add to your forms. If you're looking for a way to add a field that allows your respondents to sign the form right before submission, we now have our Signature field as one of our basic fields in the form builder. We also offer a variety of eSignature widgets that you can choose from.
So, what kinds of forms may need E-signatures?
E-signatures can be used on consent forms, contracts, application forms, registration forms, online petitions, forms that require terms of service agreements, non-disclosure agreements, incident reporting, and human resources forms.
To save you some time on figuring out what works best for you, we're listing the most commonly used widgets below:
🔘 Docusign
To add a signature field to your form, just do the following:
1. In the form builder, click the Add Form Element button on the left.
2. Click or drag/drop Signature to your form:
If you want to use one of the eSignature widgets listed above, go to the Widgets tab and search for Signature, click or drag/drop the widget you want to use.

In case you're wondering whether these widgets are legally binding, we recommend you read the article linked below. Here's an excerpt for your convenience:
E-signatures are legally binding on almost all countries and states, but we still recommend consulting with your lawyer. JotForm records the IP address and time of the signature made so that also provides additional confirmation about the signer of the document.

Would love JotForm to create a "Save Signature and Add Another" feature so that multiple people can sign off on a form, so that you don't have to conditionally program multiple sign off fields.
Are the signature widgets all paid for add Ons? Is there an option that allows us to add the facility without a costly subscription? Is it compatible Signaturely?
I need to have several signatures but not sure how to set that up
Hello, I need to add my own signature into a document I am creating. I can not see where I can insert it.

Hi There
As a Soft Tissue Therapist, I require a signed Covid Screening document. I have uploaded the original PDF from my association and managed to create a form. But when I download the submitted form as an PDF I can't open it. It tells me the Pdf file has been damaged and can't be repaired! What is happening?
kind regards

We operate a food pantry and feed about 250 families per week. Some of our food is USDA and requires a signed form. Since COVID-19 we have experienced a 300% increase in the number of families being fed. We are a 501c3 organization and would be very interested if you could help us digitalize our operation to expedite the vast number of cars/families who drive thru to pick up food.
Thank you, Karol Matthews

Assuming an organization would need additional licensing in order to incorporate an e signature for a form? For example, would we need JotForm and Adobe Sign licensing? Or JotForm and Sigplus in order to complete a form that requires a digital signature?
I can get the signature and the date...but can't send it back...don't know how.
