July 2 1776
This answer is absolutely false. The Declaration of Independence was signed (by most) by the date of August 1776. The colonies DECLARED independence on July 2, 1776 by a formal vote of congress.
July 4, 1776
The Continental Congress voted for American independence from England on July 2, 1776. This decision was formalized with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The day of the vote is often celebrated as Independence Day in the United States.
The Declaration of Independence was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. However, the formal vote on independence took place on July 2, 1776, when the Congress approved a resolution for independence from Britain. The document itself was finalized and signed by most delegates on August 2, 1776, but the July 4 date is celebrated as the day it was adopted.
NEW ANSWER:The Declaration of Independence was voted on, passed, and was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, on July 4, 1776.
July 4, 1776. The date that Congress approved of and adopted the written Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Many believe that it should be July 2, 1776, because that's when the Declaration of Independence was adopted by a voice vote.

If one means the formal pronouncement by the Continental Congress that the colonies are independent, then it is July 2, 1776, when a voice vote was taken on declaring independence. If one means the document itself, then it would be July 4, 1776, when the written document was approved by all delegates and John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed it to authenticate it as a pronouncement of the Congress so it could be printed and distributed to the states and armies. The copy with the 56 signers names did nothing to alter or confirm either the July 2 vote or the July 4 adoption of the document.
The 13 colonies declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776. This was the time when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence and cut ties with Great Britain.
