Agreement On Digital Signatures Efficacy

I understand that it is often difficult to coordinate caregiver attendance at school to physically sign legal agreements, due to employment or relationship issues.

Analogue Signatures

I understand that providing analogue signatures remotely has many deficiencies:

  • The process of printing out attachments; signing them; scanning or photographing them; and re-attaching them to email back to the school is complex and prone to error.
  • Signatures are not witnessed and easily forged.
  • School staff have to manage each stage of the process, including printing out and filing each signed agreement.

Digital Signatures

I understand that digital signatures provide a far simpler and safer solution for remotely signing legal agreements:

  • Agreements are automatically emailed to signatories.
  • Signing and submitting agreements takes seconds, on a single device.
  • Each signature carries a digital fingerprint that is impossible to forge.
  • School staff check and approve each agrement in seconds.
  • Signatories and the school automatically get copies of the completed agreement.

I understand that this declaration is purely for demonstration purposes and carries no legal obligation.
