Why does California permit signatures created by signature dynamics to be used?
Although signature dynamics signatures require the lengthy process of handwriting analysis to achieve certain verification of a signature, they are still “capable of verification” as required by Government Code section 16.5. Additionally, some degree of certainty can also be obtained by a lay-comparison of manual handwritten signatures, which may already be on file within a particular agency. If a public entity needs immediate absolute verification of a signature, then this technology may not be the best option for those transactions.
