The US has had an Electronic Signature law since 2000: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-106publ229/pdf/PLAW...

tl dr; Typed signatures are legal in a digital form if the form states this is a signature block. There is no need for a third party such as docusign.

Further verification standards have been adopted, but not required, to identify typed signatures. The most common is the leading "//". So my legal signature would look like this:

//William Hagan
