Question about W-4 form demo.
Is this Formidable Signature legally acceptable in USA?I’m planning to use it for similar purpose(W-9 form)
Great question! The phrase “legally acceptable in the USA” is relative to the instructions or guidelines of the document or agency.
For instance, some documents/agencies may require “UETA/ESIGN compliant”, however, for the W-9 the signature is required to be from a system that “authenticates and verifies the submission“, which a WordPress user account accomplishes.
If you have more questions about the signature add-on plugin, open a support ticket on FormidablePro.com as they know their plugin, and its legality, much better than we do.
Our understanding is that, “UETA/ESIGN compliant” is only required when explicitly stated in the document’s electronic signing/filing instructions. However, only the lawyers really know… and they too argue about it.
We have been using Formidable’s signature plugin for all our tax forms and insurance client signatures since 2013, without any issues.
