'email address' itself as a e-signature

Hello, @Simon 

Welcome to the DocuSign Community!

DocuSign eSignature uses other validations methods besides the email and signature’s draw.

In general, it does not matter the draw used by the signer to sign a document. Of course, it’s always better he/she uses their usual signature form (draw), however this is not crucial to make that document legally electronica signed because the Certificate of Completion (Audit trail document) will get other important info from the signer, the IP address for example.

Thus, if your customer is using their email address as the draw to the signature, it is not a problem.

On the other hand, there are other methods to validate the identity of a signer. Here you can see which methods are available to the DocuSign eSignature.

Let me know if that helps!
