Valeur légale de la e-signature au Portugal
En tant que membre de l'Union européenne, le Portugal adhère au règlement eIDAS (UE) n° 910/2014, lequel réglemente l'identification électronique et les services de confiance. Cette loi a été introduite en 2014 et est entrée en vigueur en 2016. Elle encadre l'utilisation des signatures électroniques.
eIDAS recognizes three types of signatures: Simple Electronic Signature (SES), Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES), and Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). A QES has the most stringent standards, requiring a certificate issued by a qualified signature creation device.
Various Portuguese laws also regulate the use of e-signatures, including Decree-Law No. 12/2021, which manages implementation of eIDAS; Decree-Law No. 7/2004, which governs e-commerce; and Decree-Law No. 28/2019, which manages electronic invoice rules.
Work with a legal professional to ensure you’re following all relevant e-signature laws and regulations.
