Valeur légale de la e-signature en France
La France est membre de l'Union européenne et, à ce titre, les e-signature en France sont régies par le règlement (UE) n° 910/2014 de 2014, connu sous le nom d'eIDAS, qui supervise la gestion de l'identité numérique, l'authentification et les services de confiance dans l'ensemble de l'Union européenne.
eIDAS includes three types of digital signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Each type has different requirements. QES is the most secure and can be considered an acceptable alternative to handwritten signatures under certain conditions.
In addition to eIDAS, France’s Civil Code and Decree N° 2017-1416 govern the conditions under which an e-signature is considered valid and outline requirements for devices, software, and service providers that issue e-signatures.
Consult a legal professional to ensure you’re meeting all relevant laws and requirements.
