Legally Binding, No Notary Required
Siteline’s electronic signatures adhere to U.S. e-signature standards based on the ESIGN Act and Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
Each signature is securely captured, time-stamped, and tied to the signer’s verified identity, giving it the same legal weight as a handwritten signature.
For most pay applications and lien waivers, notarization isn’t required—Siteline’s built-in audit trail provides the verification GCs need.
Proven Security and Traceability
Siteline automatically tracks every action taken on a signed document, creating a complete, tamper-evident record that shows who signed and when. All documents and signature data are encrypted, locked once completed, and stored securely for future access.
When a Notary May Still Be Required
Siteline’s e-signatures are valid for nearly all project documents, but some lien waivers, pay apps, or other forms may still require notarization depending on your state or GC requirements. If that applies, you’ll still need a notary for those specific forms.
Documents That Use E-Signatures in Siteline
Pay applications and lien waivers are common forms can all be signed electronically in Siteline. Every signed document includes a secure digital record for compliance and audit purposes.
