A wet signature, also known as a handwritten signature, is the traditional and most widely accepted method of signing documents. It involves physically writing or using a stamp to affix one’s name to a sheet of paper, thereby officially approving its contents. In contrast to wet signatures, electronic signatures involve digitally signing documents using an electronic medium such as email or an online document service. Electronic signatures are legally binding in many countries and are fast becoming the preferred choice for businesses that want to do away with manual processes.
