Why has eSignature become essential in the public sector?
Local authorities, government bodies and public institutions process large volumes of binding documents daily: public procurement contracts, regulatory acts, agreements, administrative decisions.
Paper-based processes slow down approvals, multiply physical exchanges and complicate traceability.
Electronic signature allows public sector organisations to speed up their procedures, strengthen the legal security of decisions and modernise their relationship with citizens and partners.

Simplify every step of your administrative procedures
Which public sector documents can be signed electronically?
Tailored to every public sector role
Why is electronic signature valid in the public sector?
Electronic signature benefits from a European and national legal framework that gives it legal recognition when it meets the requirements for signer identification, document integrity and the reliability of the link between the person and the act.
In the public sector, it can be used to formalise administrative acts, contracts and decisions, subject to adapting the signature level (simple, advanced or qualified) to the applicable regulatory requirements and degree of legal stakes.
Secure your procedures against document fraud
Public administrations face risks of identity fraud and document fraud. Electronic signature, combined with identity verification and enhanced authentication mechanisms, secures decisions and strengthens compliance.
