Legalidade das Assinaturas Eletrônicas no México
Mexico doesn’t have a dedicated umbrella law governing the legality of electronic signatures. However, various Mexican legal codes have provisions relevant to e-signatures, including
- The Commerce Code (Código de Comercio)
- The Federal Civil Code (Código Civil Federal)
- The Federal Code for Civil Proceedings (Código Federal de Procedimientos Civiles)
These laws have sections that specify how organizations and individuals should treat digital documentation and e-signatures. For example, Article 89 of the Commerce Code states that information in the form of data, complying with outlined provisions, shall not be denied legal effect. Article 210 of the Federal Code for Civil Proceedings states that electronically generated or communicated information can be recognized as evidence if it meets certain requirements.
The Federal Civil Code has provisions governing contracts and agreements and the methods of their creation and communication.
Article 89 of the Commerce Code also establishes definitions for Electronic Signature (Firma Electrónica), Advanced or Reliable Electronic Signatures (Firma Electrónica Avanzada o Fiable), and Certificate Service Providers (Prestadores de Servicios de Certificación).
