About electronic signatures:
Core Sign places your signature on a PDF on your device. Whether an electronic signature is accepted as official depends on the recipient and on the law where you live. Some documents, such as wills, trusts, and some family-law or notarized papers, may require a handwritten or certified signature. Core Sign does not create EU "qualified" electronic signatures. If you're unsure, ask the person or office receiving the document.
