Show HN: OpenSign – The open source alternative to DocuSign

Electronic signatures legally recognized in the United States are provided for in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”) and state and territory versions of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”).

These are the regulations you’ll want to adhere to in order to provide parity with digital signature authority of traditional commercial providers (in the US at least).

Great work btw!

(Not an attorney, not your attorney, but happy to chip in fiat so you can consult with counsel and obtain an opinion letter from one in support of your project)

Saved the info in my notes. Will discuss it with our counsel in the next meeting. Thanks :)

UETA has been substantially adopted by 49 states. The state of New York has their own statute.

So, if you look at e-sign, UETA, and NY’s Electronic Signatures and Records Act, then you have fairly comprehensive coverage across the US.

Also not an attorney, and this is also definitely not definitive legal advice!
