Citation Abstract: The development of modern communication technologies has led to the widespread use of electronic transactions, necessitating electronic signatures as an alternative to traditional signatures due to their efficiency, security, and privacy. This study examines biometric signatures as a form of electronic signature, focusing on their concept, characteristics, and evidentiary value under Jordanian legislation. The study concludes that there is a need for a specific legal framework to regulate biometric and electronic signatures, establish clear conditions, and provide adequate legal protection in line with international model laws.
