Wix Forms: Adding a Signature Field

A signature field allows visitors to electronically sign their names before they submit a form. Signature fields are useful for health waivers, registration forms and application forms. All signatures are saved in your form submissions dashboard.

Important:

The signature field is a premium feature. Learn more about upgrading Wix Forms.

Legal recognition of electronic signatures may have different and additional requirements according to internal laws/regulations of the country. Make sure you verify which requirements apply to you in accordance with local laws.

   • Required field: Enable or disable the toggle to make the signature field mandatory or optional. If required, site visitors need to sign the form before submitting.

   • Field description: Add a field description if your form needs additional explanation (e.g. terms and conditions or additional legal information for health waiver forms)
