E-Signature Software for Every Business
Get documents signed electronically in minutes. NomaSign provides simple, secure e-signatures with a detailed audit trail, plus digital signatures when the signer or organisation supplies the required certificate.
What is an E-Signature?
An e-signature (electronic signature) is a digital way to sign documents without printing or scanning. It replaces the traditional pen-and-paper signature with a secure, legally binding electronic alternative.
E-signatures can take many forms: drawing your signature on a screen, typing your name, clicking to accept, or uploading an image of your handwritten signature. What makes them valid is the intent to sign combined with proper authentication and audit trails.
With NomaSign, creating and applying e-signatures takes seconds. Recipients receive an email, click a secure link, and sign from any device: desktop, tablet, or mobile. No accounts or software downloads required.

No Signer Accounts Needed
Recipients sign via email link. No registration or app downloads.

AeS & QeS When Required

Certificate Agnostic
Use certificates from your preferred CA or government root CA. Certificate issuance, identity proofing, and setup depend on your chosen provider.
E-Signature FAQ
What is an e-signature?
An e-signature (electronic signature) is any electronic indication of intent to agree to a document. This can range from typing your name, drawing a signature with your mouse or finger, or clicking an 'I agree' button.
Are e-signatures legally binding?
Yes. In many jurisdictions, e-signatures can be legally binding for common business documents, but the rules vary by document type and country. South Africa has the ECT Act, the EU has eIDAS, and the USA has ESIGN and UETA - each with its own requirements and scope.
How do I create an e-signature?
With NomaSign, you can create your e-signature by drawing it with your mouse or finger, typing your name and selecting a style, or uploading an image of your signature. Your signature is then securely stored for future use.
Is e-signature the same as digital signature?
The terms are often used interchangeably in everyday business. Technically, a digital signature uses cryptographic certificates for additional verification, while e-signature is a broader term. NomaSign supports standard e-signatures and digital signatures, the signer or organisation supplies the right certificate.
What documents can I sign with an e-signature?
Most business documents can be signed electronically: contracts, proposals, NDAs, employment agreements, invoices, consent forms, and more. Some documents like wills or certain property transfers may still require wet signatures depending on jurisdiction.
How secure are e-signatures?
NomaSign e-signatures include multiple layers of security: encrypted transmission, detailed audit trails with timestamps and IP addresses, device/browser information, and storage in your own cloud (OneDrive or Google Drive).
