Electronic Signatures on FMCSA-Regulated Moving Documents
Posted by David Piotrowski
On January 4, 2011, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) issued guidance on electronic signatures. See 74 F.R. 411 (2011). The guidance makes clear that electronic signatures will be allowed on moving documents so long as it identifies and authenticates who is signing the document and also that it indicates such person’s approval of the information contained in the electronic communication. Up until this point, it was unclear whether the use of electronic signatures on FMCSA-regulated documents would be legally sufficient. What remains unclear, however, is what exact methods of effecting an electonic signature will be deemed compliant with the law.
