I haven't yet used what is known as a "digital signature," which I found a little difficult to figure out. I've decided to wait until I have no choice.
In the meantime, I use a digital JPEG of my signature. So far, no one has complained.

Because in Japan, the custom is to do things in an analog way:
You have to either physically sign or stamp by customized seal (or registered seal in the case of companies) and send back the document by post in most cases since it has to be countersigned (counterstamped) by the issuing party.
You may also have to attach a revenue stamp as well which costs 5,000 yen (about $42) if you are incorporated for new contracts or making amendments/updates to old contracts.

I'm not even sure that digital signatures are even allowed here. ▲ Collapse

It's very easy to set up a signature in most of the latest PDF programmes.

I avoid all clients who insist on me signing THEIR business terms.

Like Muriel and Teresa, I've never used a true digital signature, I've used a JPEG of my signature a few times though.

…or set in stone. While I avoid clients who want me to sign their contracts without any changes to the terms and conditions, I always propose changing or striking out controversial clauses.

On one hand, digital signatures are commonplace here in the case of companies that direct you to a website to open a secure packet of interactive PDF documents. After you write your full name, the PDF document renders a digital signature, most commonly your initials or your name written with a cursive or italics typeface.
On the other, a JPEG, PNG or TIFF file containing your physical signature can be prepared, copied and pasted on a PDF document, which is what I always do when I ne...

In Spain it is the National Mint, the FNMT, which authorises digital signatures. I use this to sign my bills so that I can send them electronically rather than on paper.
You need a paid-up version of Adobe to be able to attach this to your pdf, afaik.
But for agreements with clients I either scan a hand-signed agreement for their files - this would be the case for NDAs, or send them a "yes, that's fine as set out in our previous e-mail".

As our colleagues have stated before, I avoid "blindly" signining any agreements. When the terms are negotiable and both parties have reached an agreement, then I use my authentic signature in a pdf (copy) only which can be secured.
The few options of providing digital signatues are too far away from my real signature for me to even consider using one of them.
