Electronic Signature Testing Procedure

The electronic signature testing procedure represents a secure way to streamline processes related to the document flow that needs to be signed electronically. Reducing operational costs and efficiently managing time are the main advantages of this useful and indispensable tool for digitizing institutional processes. Verifying an electronic signature is a very important step for a user, natural or legal person, who uses that electronic signature.

The procedure is intended to verify the qualified electronic signature issued by trustworthy service providers.

At the level of member states, EU Regulation eIDAS no. 910/2014 establishes that a qualified electronic signature has the equivalent legal effect of a handwritten signature, being binding on the parties.

In Romania, the use of the electronic signature is regulated by Law no. 208 of July 21, 2021, for the approval of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 36/2021 regarding the use of the advanced electronic signature or qualified electronic signature, accompanied by the electronic timestamp or qualified electronic timestamp and the employer’s qualified electronic seal in the field of labor relations, and for the amendment and completion of certain normative acts.
