E-Signature Disclaimer

Last updated: 13 June 2026

Hati PDF lets you place a graphical signature image on a PDF. This is useful for everyday workflows: signing letters, invoices, NDAs, internal approvals.

What Hati PDF signatures are

A simple electronic signature — a visual mark placed on a document. In most jurisdictions, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, a simple electronic signature is admissible as evidence of intent to sign.

What they are not

Hati PDF signatures are not cryptographically advanced or qualified electronic signatures. They do not embed a digital certificate from a trust service provider. For contracts that legally require an advanced signature (some land transactions, certain government filings), use a qualified e-signature service.

Recommendation

If you are unsure whether a simple e-signature is legally sufficient for your document, consult a lawyer in your jurisdiction before relying on it.
