E-Signature Software, Sealed and Adobe-Trusted
Get documents signed in minutes. Every document is sealed with our Adobe-trusted certificate the moment you send it. Every signature has a full audit trail behind it: email verification, IP address, and device fingerprint. Your signers don't need an account to add their e-signature. Invites come from your own email, so they land in inboxes, not spam. And your files are stored in your own cloud.
What is an E-Signature?
An e-signature (electronic signature) is a way to sign documents without printing or scanning them. It replaces pen and paper with something secure and legally binding.
You can draw an e-signature on a screen, type your name, click to accept, or upload an image of your handwritten signature. The method matters less than you'd think. What makes it valid is the intent to sign, backed by proper authentication and an audit trail.
With NomaSign, creating and applying an e-signature takes seconds. Your recipient gets an email and clicks a secure link. They sign on any device: desktop, tablet, or mobile. No account, no software to download.

Why Choose NomaSign E-Signature?
Widely Recognised
Electronic signature laws differ by country and document type. Think of the ECT Act in South Africa, eIDAS in the EU, and ESIGN and UETA in the USA. If a document needs a higher assurance level, NomaSign also supports digital signatures with a certificate from the signer or their organisation.
Complete Audit Trail
Every signature is logged with a timestamp, IP address, and device or browser details. We also seal the whole document chain cryptographically, from the sender's certification to the final signature. Long-term PDF validation uses PAdES Baseline B-LTA.
No Signer Accounts Needed
Recipients sign from a link in their email. No sign-up, no app.
Send From Your Domain
Emails come from your own address, so they land in inboxes, not spam.
Unlimited Documents
Send as many documents as you need under our fair-use policy.
Your Cloud Storage
Documents are stored in your own OneDrive or Google Drive.
AeS & QeS When Required
AeS and QeS need a suitable certificate from the signer or their organisation. NomaSign provides the signing app and uses that certificate to apply the signature.
Certificate Agnostic
Use a certificate from your preferred CA or a government root CA. Issuance, identity checks, and setup depend on the provider you pick.
E-Signature FAQ
What is an e-signature?
An e-signature (electronic signature) is any electronic way of showing you agree to a document. You might type your name, draw a signature with your mouse or finger, or click an 'I agree' button.
Are e-signatures legally binding?
Yes. In many jurisdictions, e-signatures can be legally binding for common business documents. The rules do vary by country and document type. South Africa has the ECT Act, the EU has eIDAS, and the USA has ESIGN and UETA. Each has its own requirements and scope.
How do I create an e-signature?
In NomaSign, you can draw your e-signature with your mouse or finger. You can also type your name and pick a style, or upload an image of your signature. We store it securely, so it's ready next time.
Is e-signature the same as digital signature?
In everyday business, people often use the two terms for the same thing. Technically, a digital signature uses a cryptographic certificate for extra verification. E-signature is the broader term. NomaSign supports standard e-signatures and digital signatures, where the signer or organisation supplies the right certificate.
What documents can I sign with an e-signature?
Most business documents can be signed electronically. Think contracts, proposals, NDAs, employment agreements, invoices, consent forms, and more. A few still need a wet signature. In South Africa that means wills, bills of exchange, property sale agreements and leases longer than 20 years.
How secure are e-signatures?
NomaSign e-signatures have several layers of security. Data is encrypted in transit. A detailed audit trail records timestamps, IP addresses, and device or browser details. And documents are stored in your own cloud: OneDrive or Google Drive.
