| Just wondering how some of you handle the signature requirements of a form when using an online form that is submitted. Example: Employment Application. |

| If people require a signature, they normally ask you to fax a form to them |

| Most places I've dealt with recently have been ok with the documentation being signed, scanned and emailed to them after completing their online forms. |

| Maybe the ability to attach the documentation in the form would be useful. |

| Let me reprhase what I mean about "required". Better yet, how would you handle an employment application or any application for services with an online form? Brainstorming for thoughts here is all. |

| no, collecting the data is simple. I mean process-wise, how would you handle the receiving an applications to your organization over the internet in a web form? I already have a solution, I am just looking for how other people handle this situation. |

At our company we handle the data by accesing a database which is web-enabled, so everything can be viewed online, and even exported in different formats, not sure this is what you mean though... |

I've developed an online application that collects the data, sends the applicant and our HR department an email with a link that will allow them to click on a link that imports the data into a PDF form (using activePDF). We make all applicants register an account first so they can save their work and come back, apply for other positions and to verify their email address. Our HR Department has the applicants get a physical signature on the application when they are scheduled to come in for an interview. This is our Standard Operating Procedure for handling forms filled out online.
I am wondering if anyone here has a situation where online forms are filled out that required signatures and how you handle that process. |

Screenshots...
Applicant Logs On and/or Registers For Account
Once Logged On they fill out the respective categories
Accepting the terms of the form (from our HR department)
again, once all of this is done, the applicant and the HR department can print an actual employment application using the activePDF feature I incorporated. We get a signature from the applicant when they are called in for an interview. |

I used a form field where they have to type something like:
"\Firstname Lastname\"
I've seen this before on other online forms, adding a different character. A US federal law was passed awhile back regarding requirements for online forms and what requirements must be met for the form to be a legal binding agreement.
I'm not sure how much detail it covers.
Here's some links from google:

I've done similar in the past, but it just seems so redundant to have them put their name again when part of the form already asks for their name. However, I bought a car 6 months ago and had to physically sign my name in about 10 different areas. |
