- You will receive a confirmation email that the signing process has been completed and the document is ready for download.
Where can I subsequently view the signed document?

Is my scanned handwritten signature legally valid?
A scanned signature does not meet the requirements for a qualified electronic signature. So if you sign on a piece of paper, scan it and use it digitally, it is not legally equivalent to your handwritten signature, because it is easy to fake or reproduce.
