​Procedure regarding electronic signature testing

The procedure regarding electronic signature testing represents a secure way to streamline processes related to the document flow that need to be signed electronically. Reducing operational costs and efficiently managing time are the main advantages of this useful and indispensable tool for the digitization of institutional processes. Verification of an electronic signature is a very important step that must be made by a user, individual or legal entity, who uses the respective electronic signature.

The procedure is intended for verifying qualified electronic signatures issued by trusted 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 and is binding on the parties.

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