Generally, Virginia mechanics lien releases must be signed and notarized. Some Virginia counties allow for electronic recording - and, in those situations, the electronic copy wouldn't technically be a "wet" signature, but rather an electronic copy of the original. But, generally, an original copy of a signed and notarized Virginia lien release must be filed - thus, a wet signature must be present. Note, of course, that signature must be made by someone authorized to sign it on behalf of the company who filed the mechanics lien.
