Hi,
No, change orders do not need to be physically signed and email is okay. Your end goal is to obtain the client's consent. If the client says "go ahead" after you have informed them of the effect the changes they're requesting will have, that's good enough. You just need some indication that the client is aware of what is going on. In writing somehow is preferable.

Hello,
Emails are usually fine unless your contract says differently. You will want to double-check your contract first to make sure it doesn't specify a certain process for change orders.
