Frequently asked questions
Is an electronically signed offer letter legally binding?
Yes. An e-signed offer letter has the same legal validity as a paper one under ESIGN Act and UETA. The signed document includes a tamper-proof audit trail.
Can I track when the candidate opens and signs the letter?
Yes. SignOwl shows real-time status — when the document is viewed, when each field is completed, and when the final signature is submitted. You'll also receive an email notification upon completion.
What happens after the offer letter is signed?
Both parties receive a signed copy with a court-grade audit trail and a tamper-proof verification link. The document is encrypted and stored securely.
