Q&A: Electronic Signatures*

QUESTION:

Does any one use electronic signatures for documents? We conduct video arraignments with detention facilities around our county and this would be most helpful and much more efficient. Any information you can provide will be appreciated.

RESPONSE:

There is a difference between electronic and digital. We use a live electronic, if that is what you are looking for and are gearing up to include digital on some forms.

We have used live electronic in our video bond call for eight years on Orders to Remand, among others forms. We also use an electronic signature for Orders of Protection, electronically certify them and email them directly to the Sheriff. What kind of information do you want?
