Signing a contract without fingerprinting is legally binding

As long as the handwriting of the signature is proven to be that of the person signing it, the signature is valid, and fingerprinting is only a higher degree of proof. However, if a dispute arises in the future and the other party denies signing, handwriting identification will be required, which is more difficult to prove than a fingerprint-stamped contract. In addition, if the other party is a company or other organization, it should also have the seal of the company or other unit.
