・Reason why a signature is required on the contract

Signing a contract is an important step that clearly indicates the agreement between the parties.

By signing, you agree to the terms and conditions of the contract and the details of the transaction, creating a legally binding contract.

・About the legal effect of signatures

A signature has legal force and increases the credibility of the contract as a document.

Depending on the type of contract, there may be specific requirements for the format of the signature, such as a full name in kanji, but basically any signature can be concluded in handwriting as long as it is agreed upon by the parties. To do.

・Difference between handwritten signature and electronic signature

A handwritten signature is a method of signing a paper contract directly using a pen.

E-signatures, on the other hand, are done in digital form using e-signature services such as CloudSign or GMOSign.

Electronic signatures are well-suited for online transactions, and many companies have adopted them due to their convenience.

⚫︎Contract and original signature

・More and more people are using original signatures on contracts.

In recent years, more and more people are using original signatures on contracts.

Original signs are unique and can be differentiated, and are attracting attention in the business scene.

Until recently, it was common to think that autographs belonged to celebrities, but recently, not only celebrities but also ordinary people are creating original signatures.

Due to the trend of abolishing seals, the development of electronic signature services such as CloudSign, and the increasing number of generations who feel the importance of self-expression, it seems that the number of people who want to have their own signature is increasing.

By the way, the roles and designs of celebrities' autographs are completely different.

I have written about celebrity autographs in detail in the article below, so please read it if you are interested.

・Advantages of using an original signature on a contract

Using an original signature will give your contract signature a more sophisticated look.

Because original signatures have a unique design, they are harder to forge and offer better security than signatures written in block letters.

In addition, a well-designed sign can give the other person a sincere and stylish impression.

・Design required for signing a contract

Original signatures have various uses, but a simple sign without much decoration is suitable for signing in formal situations such as contracts.

If your signature is intended for private use, you may include your favorite mark such as a heart, star, or animal as part of your signature, but marks should be avoided in business situations. (Signatures with marks are accepted as "individualized signatures" in quick writing signatures)

If the design is monotonous, it will not be possible to express individuality, and the risk of signature forgery will increase, so it is preferable to have a design that is unique but not overly distorted. (For quick handwritten signatures, it is ``practical type'' or ``polite type.'')

In addition, original signatures have various uses other than contracts.

For example, hotel check-in, credit card payment, email signature, signed business card, etc.

⚫︎Electronic signature and original signature

・Use in electronic signatures

Electronic signatures play an important role in digital transactions. While handwritten signatures can be difficult to use in a digital environment, electronic signatures are widely used as an alternative. Security measures are in place and reliability is increased by meeting tamper-proofing and authentication requirements. Particularly in online transactions, the biggest advantage of electronic signatures is that contracts can be concluded efficiently and quickly.

・How can I use my original signature as an electronic signature?

In order to use the original signature as an electronic signature, you will need the signature image data in transparent PNG format.

Even if the background of the signature image is white, the background is not transparent, so if you paste it onto an electronic document, surrounding text may be hidden.

Speed ​​Sign provides transparent PNG images of all signs in all plans, so even those without specialized knowledge can use it immediately.

Transparent PNG image (signature example: Airi Tsuchiya):

Another thing to keep in mind is that you need to obtain an electronic certificate.

If you just want to paste your signature on a document such as Word or PowerPoint, you can do it right away if you have transparent PNG data, but in order to make your signature legally binding, you will need to obtain an electronic certificate. .

By obtaining an electronic certificate, you can use it as a signature that confirms your identity.
